Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortars with Microcrystalline Cellulose Additive

Katherine Kaneda Moraes presents a dataset evaluating the influence of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) microparticles on cementitious mortars. The data likely contains results from consistency index, compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, absorption, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image tests for mortars with different MCC dosages. The study found a mortar with 0.2% MCC achieved the best mechanical performance, including a 9% increase in compressive strength at 7 days.

Use Cases

• Predicting compressive strength based on MCC dosage and curing age mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the relationship between water absorption and void index for different additive concentrations
• Modeling the effect of microparticle addition on flexural tensile strength
• Correlating SEM image features with mechanical performance metrics

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative results, such as a 9% increase in compressive strength at 7 days for the optimal mix
• Covers multiple mechanical and physical tests: compressive strength, flexural strength, absorption, and SEM imaging
• Tests were performed at multiple curing ages: 3, 7, 28, and 56 days

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
