Abstract

The article delves into the treatment methods for plant fibers used as reinforcement in cement-based materials, addressing the brittleness and low tensile strength of cement structures. It reviews various treatment methods, including physical (steam blasting, heat treatment, plasma, hornification) and chemical (alkaline, silane, acetylation, benzoyl peroxide, acrylic, polymer graft co-polymerization) treatments. The study highlights the positive results achieved through these methods, such as improved adhesion, reduced water absorption, and enhanced tensile strength. Additionally, it discusses mixed treatment methods that combine physical and chemical approaches for comprehensive modification. The article concludes with a future perspective on the utilization of natural fibers in cement composites, emphasizing the need for further research on effective treatment methods and protection against microbial and alkaline attacks.
