Description
Cai Wu, Zhuo Luo, Xueping Zhou, and Daopei Zhu study shrinkage in lithium slag geopolymer in 2026. The material gives slag a high-value use, but strong drying shrinkage limits its use in builds. Carbon nanotubes and hooked steel fibers were tried alone and as a pair over 90 days of drying.
The pair cut shrinkage by about 31 percent, more than either alone and more than their summed parts would suggest. Tubes refine pores and bridge tiny cracks, while fibers hold the mass by grip and hook anchors. Overlap of fiber-held zones forms a loose stiff frame that curbs shrink.
