The surface treatment of polypropylene microfibers by plasma processing in oxygen and argon was studied with the motivation to increase their cohesion with the cement matrix. By plasma treatment, it is possible to modify ...

The article deals with the optimalization of composition for reinforced lightweight cement composite containing micronized recycled concrete, which will be used to produce masonry blocks. The composite material is reinforced ...

The article describes plasma modifications of the surface of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microfibers using oxygen and hydrogen plasma in order to improve the properties of the composite material containing modified microfibers, ...

The effect of atmospheric and low-pressure plasma modification on polypropylene (PP) microfibers was examined. Mechanical changes on the microfiber surfaces were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Next, ...
