Some of the major challenges twenty-first century include continued increase in energy consumption and environmental pollution. One approach to overcoming these is use waste materials environmentally friendly manufacturing methods. The high building sector contributes significantly global climatic changes. Here, by using date palm surface fibers, a high-performance green insulation material was developed via simple technique that did not rely on any toxic ingredients. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)...
The massive production of Polyurethane foam from various products generates an extensive amount waste, mostly in the form dust that is emitted while cutting, trimming, or grinding foam. In this research, polyurethane (PUD) waste incorporated into unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) to fabricate a heat insulation composite material be used construction. Filler percentages ranging 10% 50% were make UPR-PUD materials. thermal and mechanical properties studied order evaluate ability composites for...
In this work, the effect of alkaline treatment on thermal insulation and mechanical properties date palm wood fibers (DPWF) polylactic acid (PLA) green composite was studied. Alkaline applied to DPWF using two different solutions: sodium hydroxide (NaOH) potassium (KOH), with concentration 2 vol.%. The were later incorporated into PLA weight percentages from 10 40 wt.%, form three types: untreated (PLA-UTDPWF), KOH treated (PLA-KOH), NaOH (PLA-NaOH). prepared composites for use as a...
