Influence of Cellulose Filaments on Cement Paste and Concrete

In light of the current increasing interest toward nanomaterials for concrete technology, it appears that nanocellulose (with its incredible properties) can shape a promising sustainable candidate. This study investigates the influence of a new type of nanocellulose materials, namely, cellulose filaments (CF), on the properties of cement pastes and self-consolidating concrete (SCC). CFs were found to alter mixture rheology and improve its …
