This study investigates the integration of electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) microfibers into cementitious composites to enhance the mechanical properties of the resulting composite material. Through systematic experimentation, optimal parameters for electrospinning CA fibers were inspected, and different methods were used to blend electrospun fibers and cement. Some preliminary tests of the mechanical properties indicate a significant increase in the compressive strength of the fiber-reinforced material with respect to the reference non-reinforced material. Incorporating 0.5% CA fibers led to a 15.5% increase in compressive strength compared to the reference sample. This research demonstrates that CA microfiber reinforcement in cement-based materials is promising, highlighting its potential for cost-effective enhancement of mechanical properties.

摘要

This study investigates the integration of electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) microfibers into cementitious composites to enhance the mechanical properties of the resulting composite material. Through systematic experimentation, optimal parameters for electrospinning CA fibers were inspected, and different methods were used to blend electrospun fibers and cement. Some preliminary tests of the mechanical properties indicate a significant increase in the compressive strength of the fiber-reinforced material with respect to the reference non-reinforced material. Incorporating 0.5% CA fibers led to a 15.5% increase in compressive strength compared to the reference sample. This research demonstrates that CA microfiber reinforcement in cement-based materials is promising, highlighting its potential for cost-effective enhancement of mechanical properties.
