“…Although a good integration of the residue in the matrix can be seen, voids produced by the detachment of the rubber after mechanical testing can be visualised. In Figure 8b, the characteristic acicular morphology of the dihydrate crystals (CaSO 4 •2H 2 O) formed during the setting process of the gypsum material [45] envelop the rubber recycled aggregates, forming a compact matrix without chemical reactions at the interface. This corroborates what Herrero del Cura observed in his doctoral thesis, the adequate cohesion between the traditional gypsum material and the rubber particles from ELT [46].…”

The incorporation of rubber recycled aggregates from end-of-life tyres (ELT) in the manufacturing process of sustainable building materials has gained great interest in recent decades as a result of the large volume of this waste being generated annually. In this work, the objective is to make a contribution towards the circularity of construction products by carrying out a physico-mechanical characterisation of new gypsum composites made with the incorporation of these recycled rubber aggregates. To this end, up to 30% by volume of the original raw material has been substituted, analysing the mechanical resistance to bending and compression. Although lower than those of traditional gypsum material, both properties exceed the limits set at 1 and 2 MPa, respectively, by the current regulations. In addition, water absorption by capillarity significantly decreases, and thermal conductivity is reduced by more than 35% with respect to the reference material. Finally, in order to provide the research with a practical application, a prefabricated plate design has been proposed that incorporates the gypsum materials studied and an agglomerated rubber band that increases the thermal resistance and improves the efficiency of the designed construction system. In this way, this research reflects the potential of these novel building materials and explores new avenues for their application in building construction.

“…The values ranged approximately between 1850 and 2250 m/s. In another study, the same author [35] evaluated waste fishing nets as fiber in gypsum-based composites and, this time, observed that UPV values increased as the amount of fiber increased. In a study on lightweight concretes containing PP fibers, Balgourinejad et al [36] reported that using PP fibers did not significantly affect UPV results.…”

This study deals with the usability of tag pins on gypsum-based products, which are used to attach tags on goods such as textile products. The primary motivation of the study is that the tag pins become waste after the sale of the product and this waste is generally produced from polypropylene (PP), which is also used in fiber production. The study used waste tag pins in three different lengths (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm) and at three different fiber volumes such as 5, 10, and 15%. Thus, 40 × 40 × 160 mm sized prismatic gypsum samples were produced and unit weight, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), thermal conductivity, apparent porosity, water absorption, capillary water absorption, compressive and flexural strength of samples were tested. Samples with fiber content exhibited higher flexural strength than the reference sample. The use of longer fibers increased the flexural strength. As a result, the use of tag pins in gypsum matrix generally improved the pore structure and slightly increased the unit weight while enhancing properties such as porosity and water absorption. The same improvement was valid for the mechanical properties. However, the thermal insulation properties of gypsum-based products were adversely affected.

“…However, the material is often neglected in cementitious composite designs. Several studies have highlighted key findings when integrating gypsum in composite materials [32][33][34][35][36][37]. Gypsum also contains small particles that can enhance a homogenous matrix.…”

The building and construction industry heavily relies on the use of concrete and cementitious composites due to their exceptional attributes, including strength and durability. However, the extensive use of these materials has led to significant environmental challenges, including resource depletion, carbon emissions, and waste accumulation. In response to these challenges, recent advancements in fibre cementitious composites have shown promise in mitigating these detrimental effects. The integration of waste materials to supplement manufactured fibres represents a promising development in reinforced concrete composite materials. Waste materials like textiles and cardboard are emerging as potential fibre supplements in cementitious composites. While these materials have primarily been investigated for their mechanical characteristics, understanding their thermal properties when applied in construction materials is equally crucial. Incorporating fibres within composite designs often requires matrix modification to reduce degradation and enhance fibre longevity. This study aims to investigate the thermo-phase change properties of both textile and cardboard fibres within varied concrete matrices. Additive materials offer a range of advantages and challenges when used in composite materials, with additional complexities arising when incorporating fibre materials. Understanding the thermal reactivity of these materials is crucial for optimizing their application in construction. This study demonstrates the potential of waste fibres used with gypsum, metakaolin, and silica fume as matrix modifiers in concrete. This research provides valuable insights for future studies to explore specific material combinations and investigate complex fire testing methods, ultimately contributing to the development of sustainable construction materials.
