A crack closure system for cementitious composite materials using knotted shape memory polymer (k-SMP) fibres

Yes === Formation of cracks represents one of the major causes of concrete deterioration, which can lead to durability and safety issues. In this work, a novel crack closure system is developed, using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer fibres embedded in a mortar mix. The PET polymer has sha...
