  10. Resources for eco-friendlycompositematerials • * Geopolymer: StabilizerforCompressionstrengthimprovement • Flyash: FLY ASH / ASTM Class F (supplied by University of North Carolina at Charlotte – USA) • White cement: local production • Hidraulic Lime: local production

  11. * Natural Fibers: Tensilestrengthimprovement • Banana • Jute • Sisal

  13. Natural Fibers – Jute and Sisal

  14. Properties of Sisal Fiber: 1. Sisal Fiber is exceptionally durable with a low maintenance with minimal wear and tear. 2. It is Recyclable. 3. Sisal fibers are obtained from the outer leaf skin, removing the inner pulp. 4. It is available as plaid, herringbone and twill. 5. Sisal fibers are Anti static, does not attract or trap dust particles and does not absorb moisture or water easily. 6. The fine texture takes dyes easily and offers the largest range of dyed colours of all natural fibers. 7. It exhibits good sound and impact absorbing properties. 8. Its leaves can be treated with natural borax for fire resistance properties.
