Fiber Reinforced Concrete

435
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
  • Sustainable Engineering
  • Polymer Composites

Background:

  • Growing environmental concerns and the push for a circular economy drive demand for sustainable materials.
  • Industrial waste streams present opportunities for creating high-value engineering materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop multifunctional hybrid composites from repurposed industrial waste.
  • To investigate the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and electromagnetic properties of these novel materials.

Main Methods:

  • Recycled polyamide 6 (rPA6), recycled graphite (rGra), and recycled carbon fiber reinforced polymer (rCFRP) were processed into composites.
  • Fillers (rGra, rCFRP, or hybrid) were compounded into the rPA6 matrix at various loadings (5-20 wt%).
  • Characterization included morphology, rheology, tensile testing, DSC, electrical conductivity, and electromagnetic property analysis.

Main Results:

  • The rPA6/rCFRP (20 wt %) composite achieved high tensile strength (126 MPa) and elastic modulus (4.8 GPa).
  • Composites exhibited electrical conductivity ranging from 10^-5 to 10^-1 S.cm^-1, suitable for antistatic applications.
  • Hybrid formulations offered a balance between performance and processability, with rGra being less detrimental to processing than rCFRP.

Conclusions:

  • Repurposing industrial waste into multifunctional hybrid composites is a viable strategy for resource efficiency.
  • These composites demonstrate potential for applications requiring enhanced mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
  • The study contributes to waste minimization and the development of sustainable materials for diverse industrial sectors.
