Effect of Polypropylene Fiber on Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Mortar by Yangchen Xu, Haiming Chen, Pengju Wang

“…The results show that incorporating PPF effectively reduces the shrinkage deformation of AAS mortar, significantly improves its impact resistance, enhances its toughness, and slightly improves its compressive strength in the later stage. At the same time, PPF delays the initial setting time of AAS mortar and reduces the fluidity, density, porosity, and water absorption of AAS mortar. …”
