A new approach to characterize ITZ between microfiber and cement matrix is reported. Results show that microstructure of hydrated cement paste is highly modified in the vicinity of microfibers, with higher porosity and less anhydrous cement. ITZ can extend up to 100 μm from the interface into the ma...
