“…Consequently, it is widely used in the manufacturing of advanced composite materials for aerospace, civil engineering, armored protection, and other fields [8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, in practical applications, due to the rigid molecular structure, high crystallinity, smooth surface, and low-molecular-surface active functional groups of aramid fiber, it exhibits certain drawbacks, such as surface chemical inertness [14,15]. This results in poor interfacial adhesion between the reinforcement phase and the resin matrix when used in composite materials, making it difficult to fully transfer stress and affecting the overall performance of the composite materials, thereby greatly limiting its further application [16][17][18][19].…”

The surface modification of aramid fiber plain fabric (PPTA) was conducted through phthalic anhydride treatment and anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl3) catalysis, aiming to enhance the interfacial bonding strength between aramid fiber fabric and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) resin. The surface morphologies and structures of PPTA fiber before and after modification were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffractometry. The mechanical properties of the PPTA/DGEBA composite were evaluated using a universal mechanical testing machine. The results demonstrate that when the concentration of phthalic anhydride is 0.3 mol/L, the tensile strength, bending strength and interlaminar shear strength of PPTA/DGEBA composites reach the maximum value, which are increased by 17.94%, 44.18%, and 15.94% compared with the unmodified sample, respectively. After a 0.5-h catalytic modification, the PPTA/DGEBA composites exhibited significantly enhanced tensile strength, bending strength, and interlaminar shear strength, achieving respective increments of 32.28%, 24.91%, and 29.10% compared to the modified samples without catalyst addition. Moreover, the overall mechanical properties of the aramid fiber fabrics and composites were substantially improved, which are more suitable for structural applications.

“…Typically, various fiber types sourced from either metallic such as steel fiber (Köksal et al, 2022;Wang et al, 2022), or synthetic such as polypropylene and glass fibers (Lei et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2023) are illustrated good compatibility as working along with the plain concrete. Currently, tremendous literature considering the properties and productions of FRCs with different kinds of fibers used due to previous compilations (Afroughsabet et al, 2016;Sanya and Shi, 2023;Vairagade and Dhale, 2023) but performance of the FRC applied for hydraulic constructions seems to be undisclosed. Therefore, this study attempts to initially realize the impact of fiber types, including steel, polypropylene, and glass fibers, on properties and productions of the practical hydraulic concretes.…”

This study aims at evaluating effect of fiber types on comprehensive property of a practical fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) applied for hydraulic construction. Three fiber types including polypropylene, glass, and steel fiber were used to replace concrete volume at 0.3 vol.%. Experimental results illustrated that when compared with the reference concrete, the fiber reinforced concretes with steel or glass fiber had comparable or slight changes on the fresh properties. But, addition of polypropylene fiber induced the fresh FRC with decreased slump flow and significantly increased air entrained volume. Although using various types of fibers led to unbeneficial effect on the compressive strengths of the FRCs, presence of fiber induced the FRCs with significant enhancements on the flexural strength, drying shrinkage, and water absorption and slightly increased UPV at 28 days. In this study, steel fiber was considered as the best choice for improving the mechanical properties of the hardened concrete while, as the volume stability and durability performance of the concrete were primarily considered, polypropylene seemed to be a preferable selection. According to standardized requirements, all concrete proportions were in classification of M40(28)-M45(28), being assigned to concretes suitably applied for widespread on-site hydraulic constructions.

“…The use of fiber as a reinforcement in UHPC is an essential ingredient in the mixture [11,12]. Fibers play a crucial role in improving strength, flexural performance, and ductility required for structural safety through redistributing stresses within the concrete matrix, they restrain crack propagation caused by environmental factors such as freeze-thaw cycles, chemical attacks, and abrasion, thereby enhancing the overall durability of UHPC [13,14]. The choice of fiber type, length, and orientation plays a critical role in determining the specific improvements achieved in UHPC [15,16].…”

This study investigated the rheological properties and impact resistance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) enhanced by using waste steel fibre (WSF) extracted from waste tires. The experimental program involved testing five different percentages of WSF to fortified UHPC, which were produced to illustrate how WSF affected the rheological properties of UHPC. The five different percentages of WSF were of 0.3 %, 0.45%, 0.6%, 1.05% and 1.35% by volume of concrete. Both hardened and fresh properties, such as unit weight, compressive strength, slump, flexural strengths, indirect tensile strength (IDT), and impact resistance of UHPC were analyzed, and the results showed that Compressive strength, IDT, and Flexural increased by 49 %, 79 %, and 40 % for mixtures containing 1.35 % waste steel fibre, respectively. The UHPC mixes also showed significant higher impact resistance compared with conventional mix.
