Effect of pretreatments of MSWIFA on the properties and microstructural mechanisms of OPC-MSWIFA-GGBFS composite binders

Puntos clave

• Enhanced properties of OPC-MSWIFA-GGBFS composite binders were observed with specific pretreatments.
• The study found increased durability and strength in the composite binders after pretreatment with MSWIFA.
• Analysis incorporated microstructural mechanisms to understand the bonding and interactions in composites.
• Findings suggest the potential for sustainable construction materials using treated cork waste for improved environmental impacts.
