Fiber Reinforced Concrete

639
Fiber-reinforced concrete significantly enhances the structural and nonstructural properties of traditional concrete by incorporating fibers like steel, glass, and polymers. These fibers, varying from natural ones such as sisal and cellulose to manufactured ones like polypropylene and Kevlar, are mixed into hydraulic cement with aggregates. Steel fibers, often preferred for their robustness, contribute to improved ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. The concrete is classified...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Ionic conductive hydrogels (ICHs) are sought as flexible alternatives to rigid metal conductors in sensors.
  • Key challenges include simultaneously achieving high strength, self-adhesion, conductivity, and anti-freezing properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate a mechanically robust hydrogel with enhanced conductivity and self-adhesion.
  • To explore the potential of cellulose-based ICHs for advanced bioelectronic applications.

Main Methods:

  • A facile strategy combining carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (ATAC), and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS).
  • Characterization of ionic conductivity, mechanical properties (tensile strength, strain), and self-adhesion.
  • Evaluation of electromechanical response and performance as a flexible strain sensor.

    • Main Results:

    • The resulting hydrogels exhibited high ionic conductivity (8.2 S/m) and excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength: 0.5 MPa; tensile strain: >1701%).
    • Strong self-adhesion (up to 10.39 kPa) was achieved through ionic interactions and hydrogen bonding.
    • The hydrogel demonstrated sensitive electromechanical responses (gauge factor: 2.15) for detecting human motion.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed cellulose-based ICH exhibits a promising combination of strength, conductivity, and self-adhesion.
    • The material shows potential for reliable detection of human motion, suitable for advanced bioelectronic applications.
    • This work offers insights into designing advanced ICHs for flexible electronic devices.
