  • To address the issues such as the high density and corrosion susceptibility of traditional steel-polymer fiber hybrid systems, the hybrid effects of three types of polymer fibers, namely polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, polypropylene (PP) fibers, and polyoxymethylene (POM) fibers, on the workability and mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC) were investigated. A total of 12 groups of specimens were designed, including single fiber and different combinations of hybrid fibers, including PVA and POM, PVA and PP, and POM and PP. Flowability, compressive, bending, uniaxial tensile, and four-point bending tests were conducted. The performance of each group was systematically analyzed and comprehensively evaluated, while the hybrid fiber mechanism was also analyzed using a high-resolution optical microscope. The results have shown that hybrid fibers can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of single fibers, significantly enhancing the overall performance of FRCC. The flowability of A0.5M1.5P0 increases by 18.62% compared to the single PVA fiber. The bending strength of A1M1P0 is 14.53 MPa, a 24.94% improvement over the single POM fiber. The compressive strength of A0M1.5P0.5 is 73.33 MPa, a 25.50% increase over the single PP fiber. A1.5M0.5P0 exhibits the best tensile performance, with a tensile strength of 3.36 MPa and strain energy density of 54.2 kJ/m3, showing increases of 54.13% and 2158.33%, respectively, compared to the single POM fiber. The bending strength of A1M1P0 is 9.03 MPa, a 51.26% improvement over the single PVA fiber, while the equivalent bending strength of 3.89 MPa shows a 77.63% increase over the single POM fiber. Based on the comprehensive evaluation of the radar chart, A1.5M0.5P0 exhibits the best overall performance. Two fibers with different physical properties produce a synergistic effect when hybridized. For example, PVA fibers limit crack propagation, while POM fibers dissipate energy through deformation during crack propagation. The synergy of PVA and POM fibers enhances the toughness and load-bearing capacity of the composite material.
