Multiscale Toughening Mechanism in Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Cement-Based Nanocomposites
In this study, a thorough evaluation of the toughening mechanism in cement-based nanocomposites reinforced with hybrid networks of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and polypropylene microfibers (PPs) took place. The critical values of fracture toughness/stress intensity factor, \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${K}_{IC}^{S}$$\end{document}, were experimentally determined on prismatic notched specimens of nano and micro scale fiber reinforced cementitious composites using the two-parameter fracture model (TPFM). The post-crack energy absorption capacity of the hybrid-composites was assessed by evaluating the dimensionless toughness index, I20, calculated through linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) tests. The addition of CNF/PP networks at low volume fractions of about 0.1 vol% in cementitious matrix results in a significant improvement in the \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${K}_{IC}^{S}$$\end{document} (85–240%) and 1.6 – 10x higher I20 compared to the CNF or PP reinforced materials. Relative to the single-scale fiber reinforcement, the synergy between the nano- and micro- scale fibers results in a multi-scale crack arresting distinctively increasing the toughening effect in the hybrid fiber-cementitious mortar nanocomposites.
