Impact resistance of sisal fiber reinforced concrete
International Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2018 Concrete is typically a brittle material which is prone to damage when subjected to heavy impact loads. To overcome this weakness, concrete is reinforced with fibers as fibers are effective in withstanding heavy impact loads. The main objective of this experimental investigation is to study the influence of sisal fibers in concrete under impact load ...

Hollow biomorphic Al2O3 fibers produced from sisal
Journal of Materials Science, 2007 Al2O3 fibers with a hollow morphology were produced by Al-vapor infiltration-reaction and subsequent oxidation from pyrolysed fibers of natural sisal. Following pyrolysis, the bio-fiber template was reacted with gaseous Al at 1,400 °C–1,600 °C in vacuum to form Al4C3.
