The recycling of this new building material will not be necessary until the next century; 30 years ago, only a few computer geeks were in the same internet where today even Aunt Luise and Uncle Hermann are—I fully trust in progress.Since I deal professionally with both materials and their results, I would clearly favor the polymer fibers based on their durability. And whether that then makes it harder to recycle (because it does), you probably don't care anyway...
Fifty years ago I had just started school, and material science didn’t interest me yet. In any case, it is by far not a modern crackpot idea. As I said, I would use it myself, and I behave conservatively when investing.Are there any studies / reports on polymer fibers? Has it been used in the industry for 5 or 50 years?
The fibers have been used in commercial construction for a very long time. You have 100% certainly encountered them already. For example, in highway pavements, tunnel constructions (though more often PP fibers there), commercial hall floors, etc. It has been standard practice for about 60 years - there are also DIN standards for it. It's roughly like asking if anyone has experience with concrete roof tiles. Other applications include, for example, components where you do not have sufficient coverage of the rebar. Simply use polymer fibers as a substitute. In detached houses, however, it is not yet common (or necessary).Are there any studies / reports on polymer fibers?
