Composite concrete reinforcement fibers: MichelinLast 5 Years Research Landscape
Concrete structures require internal reinforcement to prevent brittle failure under tension, requiring specific filament-resin bonding to ensure structural integrity.
What technical problems is Michelin addressing in Composite concrete reinforcement fibers?
Synthetic Filament Porosity Control
(7)evidences
High porosity in carbon or polyester filaments weakens the crosslinked resin bond, leading to premature fiber pull-out under stress.
Alkaline Chemical Degradation
(4)evidences
High pH environments in wet concrete cause chemical erosion of glass yarns and resin matrices, reducing long-term structural integrity.
Glass Fiber Tensile Fracture
(5)evidences
Low breaking strain and improper filament dimensions in glass-resin composites result in brittle failure when concrete undergoes flexural loading.
Non-Glass Mineral Incompatibility
(3)evidences
Alternative mineral filaments exhibit poor interfacial adhesion with crosslinked resins compared to standard glass, causing internal delamination during curing.
