Abstract

Abstract Polymer concrete is used for machine parts such as machine beds, electronic insulating parts, and components for building and construction. The material exhibits satisfactory elasticity modulus and compression strength, but insufficient tensile and flexural strength. The improvement of tensile strength in highly filled, stiff composite materials is difficult. One possibility is the reinforcement by loosely layed-in or prestressed high-performance composite rods (HPR). The results of this examination show that an improvement of all material properties can be expected. The glass fiber rods used in this work are waste material of the cable industry. Therefore a possibility for material recycling of duroplastic composite material is examined.
