This research evaluates how carbon fibers and recycled aggregates affect properties of geopolymer concrete, suggesting improved sustainability.

Incorporating carbon fibers significantly enhances the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete, improving its durability.
Results showed that 0.2% carbon fiber addition led to 59% higher splitting tensile strength and a 25% boost in modulus of elasticity.
Using recycled aggregates like plastic waste or tire crumb rubber improved compressive strength by 10% in modified geopolymer concrete.
Microstructural analysis confirmed the enhancements in mechanical properties due to the addition of carbon fibers.

Mozan et al. (2025) studied this question.
