Abstract Polypropylene, steel, and carbon fibers are used to increase the ductility toughness of concrete materials. In recent years, studies on use natural have increasingly continued. Among fibers, hemp fiber has highest tensile strength value. The aim this study was discuss present results experimental cement-based shives mortars. Another is in construction field by using more economical fib...

Microscopic plastic (microplastic, 0.1 µm-5 mm) is a widespread pollutant impacting upon aquatic ecosystems across the globe. Environmental sampling has revealed synthetic fibers are prevalent in seawater, sediments and biota. However, microplastic fibers are rarely used in laboratory studies as they are unavailable for purchase and existing preparation techniques have limited application. To f...
