Concrete composites are being developed to address the weaknesses of conventional concrete. A study published in Industrial Crops and Products examined the merits of using Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) stalk particles as a raw material for cement-bonded particleboards.
Because of their findings, the researchers concluded that Jerusalem stalk particles are suitable for use as raw materials in concrete composites.
