Fig. 5: Weavability of cellulose-supported cement-based (CSC) fiber.

Schematic of a knotting experiment and the b photographs of the cement fibers with different cement content under different states. Schematic of c hanging experiment and the d photographs of the cement fibers under different states. Comparison of e the radius and f the angle of the cement fibers with different cement content under different states. Error bars represent standard deviations, and the number of replicates, n = 6. g Improvement of the solutions over iterations. The former numbers in parentheses represent the cellulose content within the cement-based fibers, and the latter numbers in parentheses refers to the content of cement respect to the cellulose matrix. Various fabrics weaved using the CSC10 fibers including h cement fiber/viscose yarn mixed woven fabric, i cement fiber/cotton yarn fabric with plain weave, j twill weave, and k satin weave. l Weavable and hydraulic performance of the pure cement fiber fabrics. The blue arrow indicates softening of the fabric upon brief water exposure, while the red arrow denotes hardening under prolonged immersion. Application of the pure cement fibers fabric for m pen holder and n cement fiber/cotton yarn fabric for fracture fixation. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
