Durian skin is a newly explores natural fibre potentially reinforced polyolefin for diverse applications. In this work, investigation on the effect of coupling agent, maleic anhydride polypropylene (MAPP) on the mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties of polypropylene (PP) reinforced with durian skin fibre (DSF) was conducted. The presence of 30 wt% DSF significantly reduced the tensi...

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a relatively new alternative construction material that can be used in road and dam constructions by allowing rapid use after production the of conventional building materials production. RCC, which produced with low water/cement ratio, one rigid pavement types shows similarity to flexible pavements technique. Different fibers such as steel polypropylene (PP) ...

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste has become a research hotspot due to the need for environmental sustainability strength enhancement of cementitious materials. However, wider applications C&D are limited, as its non-homogeneous surface nature limits workability. This evaluated feasible utilization aggregates in polypropylene-fiber-reinforced cement-stabilized soil (CSS) under sul...

Fiber factor strongly influences the flexural properties of fiber-reinforced composites. Theoretically, strong fiber-matrix bonds combined with long fibers can produce high composite strength, while short influence ductility composite. Both conditions are obtained by aligning fiber loading direction. In this study, an experimental study was conducted on effect factors strength and modulus carbo...
