Fiber Optic Light Transparency Cement Brick

New Building Materials pmma end glow fiber optic light transparency cement brick Light Translucent Concrete (also: light-transmitting concrete) is a concrete based building material with light-transmissive properties due to embedded light optical elements - usually Optical fiber. Light is conducted through the stone from one end to the other. Therefore, the fibers have to go through the whole object. This results in a certain light pattern on the other surface, depending on the fiber structure. Shadows cast onto one side appear as silhouettSeveral ways of producing translucent concrete exist. All are based on a fine grain concrete (ca. 95%) and only 5% light conducting elements that are added during casting process. After setting, the concrete is cut to plates or stones with standard machinery for cutting stone materials.Translucent concrete is used in fine architecture as a façade material and for cladding of interior walls. Light-transmitting concrete has also been applied to v…
