Abstract

The degree of dispersion of short microfibers in cement, as assessed by electrical resistivity measurement for the case of electrically conductive fibers at a volume fraction below the percolation threshold, is improved by the use of admixtures (namely, silica fume, acrylic particle dispersion, methylcellulose solution, and silane) and fiber surface treatment (such as ozone treatment). Acrylic particle dispersion is more effective than latex particle dispersion. Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
