Effects of ligno– and delignified– cellulose nanofibrils on the performance of cement-based materials

This article presents an investigation into the effects of lignocellulose nanofibrils (LCNF) and delignified cellulose nanofibrils (DCNF) on the hydration, microstructure, and mechanical properties of cement paste. The effects of various fine contents and dosages of the cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) additions on the properties of cement paste are presented in this article. Nearly all the CNF containing batches were observed to have an accelerated...
