Characterization of gypsum composites with polypropylene fibers from non-degradable wet wipes

The research carried out studies how the addition of plastic polypropylene fibers from recycled non-degradable wet wipes can influence on the physical and mechanical behavior of composites with a gypsum binder matrix. Four different plaster blends were studied, corresponding to percentages of 2, 2.5...
