Abstract
A process for producing a composite material, structure or artifact comprising a cementitious substrate or matrix which is strengthened or reinforced by reinforcing material which adheres thereto, includes bringing a reinforcing component into contact with a cementitious substrate component which is in a settable state. The substrate component is allowed to set in contact with the reinforcing component, thereby to adhere thereto. Adhesion of the substrate component to the reinforcing component is enhanced by, prior to bringing the components into contact with each other, subjecting the reinforcing component to surface fluorination thereof.
