Estimating the term…
Reinforcement for a material may be provided that includes a moldable composition, particularly for a building material, in which barley awns and seed parachutes, such as from bulrush seeds, are present as components in the reinforcement. The seed parachutes may comprise stem fibers and lateral fibers branching off therefrom, where the lateral fibers of the seed parachutes are connected to one another by the barley awns. The barley awns may have a weight proportion of approximately 0.1 to approximately 2 times, such as approximately 0.5 to approximately 1 time, higher than the weight proportion of the seed parachutes. A building material may be provided that includes the described reinforcement. A method for producing the building material may also be provided.
A reinforcement for a material made from a moldable composition, the reinforcement comprising barley awns and parachutes of seeds, the parachutes including stem fibers and lateral fibers branching off therefrom, the lateral fibers of the parachutes joined to one another by the barley awns, and the proportion, by weight, of the barley awns to the parachutes is in a range from about 0.1 to about 2.
A building material comprising a render mixture, barley awns, and parachutes of seeds, the parachutes including stem fibers and lateral fibers branching off therefrom, the lateral fibers of the parachutes joined to one another by the barley awns, and the proportion, by weight, of the barley awns to the parachutes is in a range from 0.5 to 1.
