Eco-Composites Designed for Thermal and Acoustic Insulation of Buildings

Abstract

The paper aims to present a series of new composites that may be used for the thermal and acoustic insulation of buildings. The new composite structure is made from glued chips and wood fibers, hemp flakes, wool, and reed fibers. The paper describes how the composites were made, and the methods used to determine the heat transfer coefficient and the acoustic absorption. The main purpose of this article is to promote these types of ecological materials which may replace in the near future, the materials that damage human health and the environment.
