15-20% B3B flexural strength gain by addition of 0.2 Vol% CNCs to cement DOH of cement paste is improved with CNCs by 12-15% Lower yield observed. Interesting "shell" observed around cement particles Unlike other reinforcements (CNTs, CNF, macrofibers), fiber-bridging is not observed. Unlike other cellulosics, IC is not observed. Evidence points to two different mechanisms for this improvement: steric stabilization (similar to SP) and short circuit diffusion (latter is dominant).
