An experimental investigation on the erosion resistance of concrete containing various PET particles percentages against sulfuric acid attack (2015, background): “This issue is known clearly that waste PET bottles need too long time to decompose in the nature [3].”
Recycled nylon fibers as cement mortar reinforcement (2014, background): “The effect of reinforcing plastic fibers in compression is quite often debated in the literature, since different studies report increases [3,7,8,10,15], decreases [2,9,14,18] or no relevant effects [16,21,25] in the compressive strength of fiber-reinforced concretes and mortars, with respect to the”
Physical and mechanical behaviour of recycled PET fibre reinforced mortar (2011, background): “Nowadays, the literature report many plastic waste applications on mortar and concrete [3–5], specially the use of recycled PET as mortar and concrete aggregates [6–9] and as mortar and concrete fibre reinforcement [10–13].”
Early age performance and mechanical characteristics of recycled PET fibre reinforced concrete (2016, result): “[12] observed that a slight increase in the compressive strength after 28 days took place in the samples having PET fibres whilst a decrease was observed after 150 days, indicating degradation signals of the PET fibres in an alkaline environment, as also confirmed by dedicated studies [13].”
