Abstract

Plant fibers, characterized by their low density, renewable nature, and environmentally friendly characteristics, offer considerable potential as reinforcement materials in geopolymer composites. This review provides a critical and thorough examination of recent developments and emerging trends in plant fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete (PFRGC). The paper commences by detailing the inherent characteristics of plant fibers and the mechanisms governing their interfacial adhesion with the geopolymer matrix, with specific emphasis on the impact of fiber surface modification on interface properties. The review offers a comprehensive investigation of the mechanical properties of plant fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete, encompassing compressive strength, tensile strength, and toughness. Additionally, the paper examines the influence of plant fiber integration on the durability of geopolymer concrete, discussing improvements in freeze-thaw resistance, permeability, and carbonation resistance. In conclusion, this review highlights the prevailing challenges in the domain and provides insights into future developments of plant fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete. An analysis was performed utilizing papers from 2000 to 2025 indexed in prominent databases including Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect to enhance the review. Integrating plant fibers into developing technologies, such as 3D printing of geo-polymer matrices, signifies a promising avenue for structural applications. It advocates that future research efforts should focus on enhancing fiber modification techniques, exploring novel fiber materials, and doing thorough assessments of long-term performance.

植物纤维在地聚合物混凝土中的研究进展及应用前景

植物纤维具有低密度、可再生、环保等特点，作为地聚合物复合材料的增强材料具有很大的潜力。本文综述了植物纤维增强地聚合物混凝土（PFRGC）的最新发展和新趋势。本文首先详细介绍了植物纤维的固有特性和控制它们与地聚合物基体界面粘附的机制，特别强调了纤维表面改性对界面特性的影响。本文综述了植物纤维增强地聚合物混凝土的力学性能，包括抗压强度、抗拉强度和韧性。此外，本文还研究了植物纤维对地聚合物混凝土耐久性的影响，讨论了其抗冻融性、渗透性和抗碳化性的改善。总之，本综述强调了该领域的主要挑战，并对植物纤维增强地聚合物混凝土的未来发展提供了见解。利用Web of Science、Scopus和ScienceDirect等知名数据库中收录的2000年至2025年的论文进行分析，以加强综述。将植物纤维整合到开发技术中，例如土工聚合物基质的3D打印，标志着结构应用的一个有前途的途径。它主张未来的研究工作应集中在提高纤维改性技术，探索新的纤维材料，并对长期性能进行彻底的评估。

期刊介绍： Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
