The vulnerability against heat and fire for natural fibers presents a great challenge for their
replacement of traditional fiber reinforcements in composite materials. Natural fiber/polymer …

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has gained increasing interest in recent years due to its
superior mechanical properties compared to normal concrete. To apply FRC in civilian and …

Cement industries that produce the primary component of concrete remain one of the main
challenges to the world since they change the climate and possess a negative impact on …

The importance of natural fibres over synthetic fibres have gained significant attention in the
research area, due to their higher specific strength, stiffness, lightweight and inexpensive …

Fibers-based composite materials have attracted wide attention due to their low weight, high
