Polyolefin fibres used in cementitious composites – manufacturing, properties and application

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents the manufacturing and properties of three types of polyolefin fibres: monofilament and fibrillated polypropylene microfibres and macro-synthetic (PP/PE) fibres – today, besides steel and glass fibres, these are the most widely used fibrous reinforcement of cement composites. Different types of fibres result from various methods of improving the low modulus of elasticity and poor adhesion of PP fibres (chemically inert) to the cement matrix. These methods are also described in the paper.
