KISR develops advanced polymer fibres to strengthen concrete, improve durability
The Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) announced the completion of a research project aimed at creating advanced synthetic polymer fibres. The fibres combine polypropylene and polyethylene in a specially designed blend. KISR says the new fibres are intended to raise the strength, durability and overall performance of reinforced concrete. The institute expects the material could be used in a broader range of construction and industrial projects across Kuwait. The project title references development, enhancement and implementation of the polymer blend. The announcement was published on the Times Kuwait website.
