Recovery of cotton fibers from waste Blue-Jeans and its use in polyester concrete
Construction and Building Materials(2018)
Abstract
•Polyester concrete with waste cotton fibers from Blue-Jeans was elaborated.•The effects of gamma radiation on compressive and flexural properties were studied.•The highest mechanical performance is obtained with 1 wt% of waste cotton fibers.•Irradiation dose of 300 kGy provides the highest mechanical values.•Mechanical improvements were related with SEM, FT-IR and XRD analyzes.
