Abstract
Composite fibers and methods of manufacturing composite fibers for the reinforcement of concrete are provided. The composite fibers include fibers and a polymeric coating. The composite fibers have a length of about 10 mm to about 80 mm and an equivalent diameter from about 0.3 mm to about 2 mm. A method for reinforcing concrete using the composite fibers is further provided.
Claims12
A method of manufacturing a composite fiber, said method comprising:
- preparing a viscous polymeric coating composition;
- applying the viscous polymeric coating composition to a plurality of fibers to form a coated element;
- and
- exposing the coated element to radiation which cures the viscous polymeric coating composition to form a composite fiber.
