Recycled nylon fibers as cement mortar reinforcement (2014, methodology): “We employed the commercial mortar Disbocret Unitech R4, produced by Italian Caparol GmbH & Co, for the sake of comparing the present results with those deriving from the reinforcement of the same kind of mortar with PET stripes [18].”
Use of recycled plastics in concrete: A critical review. (2016, unknown): “However, some studies also reported reductions in the compressive strength of concrete containing PF (Fraternali et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2010; Meddah and Bencheikh, 2009; Pelisser et al., 2012). cs in concrete: A critical review.”
On the reinforcement of cement mortars through 3D printed polymeric and metallic fibers (2016, background): “In other words, the materials examined in the present study exhibit large toughness and residual strength in the first post-crack regime [16,17], but brittle response for very large deflections (increased brittleness in additively manufactured Ti6Al4V is frequently observed at high strains, due to t”
Recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) – A review focusing on chemical methods (2016, background): “tended to reduce the weight of such composites, when being used as material for the construction of large buildings [32–64].”
