Different types of fibres result from various methods of improving the low modulus of elasticity and poor adhesion of PP fibres (chemically inert) to the cement matrix. These methods are also described in the paper.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.16.223.5972}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/polyolefin-fibres-used-in-cementitious-composites-manufacturing-properties-and-application} }
