Abstract: Polyoxymethylene (POM), as a polymer material with high crystallization degree, can be used in engineering application. Due to its environmental sustainability and outstanding mechanical properties, POM has drawn much attention in high-performance concrete (HPC) during the last decades. However, the comprehensive research on POM fiber-reinforced HPC is still limited. This summary systematically reviews the recent advances in this field, and discusses the effects of POM fibers on strength, durability, and microstructure of concrete. By the crack-bridging and energy dissipation effects, POM fibers significantly enhance the compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength of concrete, and the improvement on fracture toughness is particularly notable under high strain rates. However, excessive fiber content introduces more interfacial defects to decline the properties. For durability, POM fiber with optimized content can reduce drying shrinkage, and improve abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, and chloride resistance. Under high temperature, POM fiber will melt between 200—400 ℃, forming interconnected pore channels to relieve vapor pressure, but the performance deterioration is accelerated over 400 ℃. Microscopic analysis reveals that POM fiber forms a dense interfacial transition zone with the cement matrix, and strengthens the bonding through chemical interactions and frictional forces. Here also presents the properties of hybrid fibers and provides associated mathematical models, and looks forward to the future development of POM fiber-reinforced concrete.
