Reviewer 2 Report

Please further elaborate on the novelty of this review work in abstract.

The presented introduction is pretty modest. Please include a brief but critical review regarding the conducted research studies in the introduction.  It is recommended to add a section “research significance” and highlight the main contribution of the offered review.

You may remove the figure 6. The nationally of the authors would not play an important role in the offered outcomes.

Please add a comprehensive analysis regarding the bonding effect of carbon reinforcement embedded in different recycled materials.

Similarly, please opt out of journal names as it is irrelevant to the reported results.

Please add a compelling discussion on the main parameters that can significantly affect the result of the conducted research works.

 

Please further highlight the shortcomings in the reviewed studies and include recommendations for future research.
