Improved durability of vegetable fiber reinforced cement composite subject to accelerated carbonation at early age

This work presents the improved mechanical properties of eucalyptus pulp reinforced cementitious composites produced by the slurry-dewatering and pressing technique. They were subjected to accelerated carbonation after 2 days of controlled curing, which was investigated aiming to find a durable composite with vegetable pulp as an exclusive reinforcement. The effect of carbonation curing on the mechanical, physical, and microstructural properties...
