Research Projects

The construction industry faces the challenge of finding more sustainable materials and methods to reduce the environmental impact of building projects. One promising option is the integration of fiber materials into construction processes. These materials offer potential for lower environmental impact, but are highly dependent on the choice of adhesive, which influences their strength and reusability. Biogenic fiber materials have increasingly found their way into the construction industry in recent years, as they represent an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional building materials. However, the correct selection and application of adhesives is crucial for the performance and sustainability of fiber materials in construction projects. A detailed investigation of the bond strength of different adhesives on fiber materials is of great importance to evaluate the suitability of these materials in the construction industry. The main objective of this thesis is to examine different types of adhesives for their adhesive strength and applicability on fiber materials. The findings from this investigation will be used to develop well-founded recommendations for the selection of adhesives in sustainable construction projects. This will help to promote the use of biogenic fiber materials in the construction industry and at the same time ensure ecological sustainability.
