FIBER-REINFORCED CEMENT FOR PIEZOELECTRICITY AND PYROELECTRICITY. IN: INNOVATIONS IN FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE FOR VALUE

Fiber reinforced cement for piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity is introduced, as these phenomena are useful for the sensing of strain and temperature. The use of short steel fibers, together with polyvinyl alcohol, as admixtures greatly enhances these effects, thereby attaining longitudinal piezoelectric coupling coefficient, and pyroelectric coefficient. Carbon fiber cement paste and plain cement paste are comparable in the piezoelectric coupling coefficient, piezoelectric voltage coefficient and pyroelectric voltage, though the pyroelectric coefficient is higher for carbon fiber cement paste than plain cement paste.
