Abstract
Sustainable development involves the use of sustainable materials as substitutes for traditional materials to avoid excessive consumption of natural resources. As a natural green material, plant fiber is gradually attracting the attention of researchers in the field of architecture due to its potential application value in composite materials. In order to promote the development of natural plant fiber composites, based on the analysis of the characteristics of natural plant fiber materials, and based on the role of natural plant fiber composites in crack resistance and toughening, internal maintenance, heat preservation and energy conservation, this paper comprehensively reviews the application of plant fiber cement based composites in building projects, hoping to provide some reference for the development and application of new building materials.
