Research progress in PVA fiber reinforced geopolymer composites
In recent years,geopolymers have been recognized as a sustainable alternative to traditional cemen-titious materials,offering a potential solution to mitigate the adverse environmental impact of the cement in-dustry.Similar to OPC,fibers can be incorporated into geopolymers to enhance their properties.Having reviewed the research progress on the performance of PVA fiber-reinforced geopolymer composite materials,including the influence of fiber content on workability,mechanical properties,and durability.Additionally,it elucidates the strengthening mechanism of PVA fibers in geopolymer composites and discusses current challenges along with proposed recommendations.
