Development of pulp fibre reinforced concrete

该项目的行业合作伙伴是位于魁北克省蒙特雷亚尔的Domtar Inc.。多姆塔尔是一家跨国企业 公司有100多年的历史；它在加拿大各地拥有许多纸浆和纸张制造和加工厂 还有美国。一些由软木和硬木制成的产品是各种蜂窝纸浆纤维。 Domtar打算为这些纤维建立新的应用，因此纤维市场将会增加；这将确保 纸浆纤维的生产是可行和可持续的。这项研究将调查的用途和应用 混凝土混合料中的Domtar纸浆和改性纤维；它们的纤维将用于开发新的混凝土 该产品名为纸浆纤维混凝土。它将比目前的光面具有更好的强度和耐用性 混凝土。因此，本项目的设计是为了提高Domtar各种纸浆和改性产品的适销性 纤维。这将使Domtar相对于生产各种复合纤维的竞争对手具有优势，例如 碳纤维、玻璃纤维和玄武岩纤维。申请者Das博士在研究纤维混凝土方面经验丰富 材料及其在桥梁和混凝土路面上的应用。他一直在研究玄武岩纤维 搅拌了五年的混凝土。Domtar Inc.坚信，在达斯博士的积极合作下，这 项目将带领企业走上成功之路，同时促进未来增长并创造新的就业机会 机会遍及安大略省和加拿大。

This project's industry collaborator is Domtar Inc., located in Montréal, Québec. Domtar is a multi-national company over 100 years old; it has many pulp and paper manufacturing and processing plants across Canada and the USA. Some of the products manufactured from soft and hard woods are various cellulous pulp fibres. Domtar intends to establish new applications for these fibres so the fibre market will increase; this will ensure that pulp fibre production is viable and sustainable. This research will investigate the uses and applications of Domtar's pulp and modified fibres in concrete mixes; their fibres will be used to develop a new concrete product called pulp fibre reinforced concrete. It will have better strength and durability than current plain concrete. Thus, the project is designed to increase the marketability of Domtar's various pulp and modified fibres. This will give Domtar an advantage over its competitors that produce various composite fibres like carbon, glass, and basalt fibres. The applicant Dr. Das is experienced in researching fibre mixed concrete materials and their applications to bridges and to concrete pavements. He has been working with basalt fibre mixed concrete for five years. Domtar Inc. strongly believes that with the active collaboration of Dr. Das, this project will lead the business on a path to success while promoting future growth and creating new job opportunities throughout Ontario and Canada.
