Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) or fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), one of the
representatives of cementitious composites, has ultra-high compressive strength and high …

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber widely used in industry
and commerce due to its high thermal and chemical resistance. Nanotechnology has …

Polymer matrix composites reinforced with fibers/fillers are extensively used in several
tribological components of automotive and boating applications. The mechanical …

To reveal the toughening mechanism of polymers and fibers in composite applications, a
combination of physical tests (uniaxial compression, flexural fracture, single fiber pull-out …

Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) have been widely used in the field of civil engineering
infrastructure, while it also generating a large amount of waste glass fibers simultaneously …

Green cementitious materials are usually developed by the addition of high volumes of
mineral fillers. However, the addition of minerals can result in the reduction of mechanical …

In this study, the bond performance between corroded rebar and steel fiber reinforced alkali-
activated concrete (AAC) was investigated. The effects of the fiber content, corrosion degree …

The increasing demand for natural fibers, driven by their advantageous attributes such as
low density, sustainability, and high specific strength, has promoted the adoption of …

PE fibers are widely employed in the fabrication of high-strength engineering cementitious
composites (HSECC). However, the inherent hydrophobic state of the fiber surface weakens …

Biofibres' wide application in mortar enhancement has thus far been restricted by factors
related to their chemical composition and hygroscopic nature. Their hydrophilic behaviour …
