Novel Polymer Gels: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications.

go on to collate findings from numerous studies on the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of PFRCCs: a clear trend is that adding plant fibers enhances the toughness , flexural strength, and tensile capacity of cement-based gels, often at the expense of a slight reduction or variability in compressive strength.
