Abstract

The mechanical properties of bleached and unbleached cellulose fibre cement composites are studied in both dry and wet test conditions. It is found that bleaching the fibres have the effects of increasing both the elastic modulus and bending strength but reducing the resistance to crack propagation. Water has a dramatic adverse effect on the elastic modulus and bending strength of the composites irrespective of whether the fibres are bleached or not. However, water increases remarkably the fracture resistances. A failure mechanism is suggested to explain these experimental results and this is supported by evidence obtained from scanning electron micrographs of fractured surfaces.
