Exploring the Dual Nature of Olive Husk: Fiber/Aggregate in Lightweight Bio-Concrete for Enhanced Hygrothermal, Mechanical, and Microstructural Properties by Halima Belhadad, Nadir Bellel, Ana Bras

“…Despite the higher porosity, the bio-concrete maintained adequate mechanical integrity, with compressive and flexural strengths of 11.68 MPa and 3.58 MPa, respectively, attributed to the crack-bridging action of the fibrous inclusions. Microstructural analysis (SEM/XRD) revealed improved paste continuity and denser C–S–H formation, attributed to enhanced matrix compatibility following oil removal via thermal pre-treatment. …”

Physical, Compressive Strength, and Microstructural Characteristics of Alkali-Activated Engineered Composites Incorporating MgO, MWCNTs, and rGO by Mohammad Ali Hossain, Khandaker M. A. Hossain

“…All these variables, individually or combined, influenced the properties and microstructural aspects of AAECs. Problems associated with the dispersion and agglomeration of nanomaterials, which could disrupt the microstructure and weaken its mechanical/physical properties, were avoided through the use of defined ultra-sonication with a high-shear mixing protocol. …”
