“…But the thermal conductivity reduced by 3.5% when PP nonwoven located used as top and bottom layers as shown in Figure 6. This may attribute to the fact that the PP has a higher thermal conductivity than glass fiber [24,25]; therefore, when PP located on the very top layer it facilitates the higher amount of heat to transfer throughout the thickness. Figure 6.Thermal conductivity of Tetra Pak® waste (core)/woven fabric (skin) composite.…”
Due to the significant and harmful effect of the global warming on our communities, health, and climate, the usage of thermal insulation material in building is must to decrease the energy consumption and to improve energy efficiency. On the other hand, the utilization of waste and biomass resources for developing new bio-based composite materials is attracting much attention for the environmental and socioeconomics. Therefore, in this study, thermal insulation bio-based composite panels from Tetra Pak® waste and wool fiber waste with different ratios were manufactured. Likewise, other sandwich bio-based composite panels were manufactured using Tetra Pak waste as a core material with glass woven fabric and jute wove fabric as skin materials. Thermal conductivity and thermal resistance results showed a significant improvement on thermal insulation properties of the developed biocomposite panels compared to the control samples made of plain Tetra Pak®.

With ongoing miniaturization and weight reduction of portable electronic devices, effective heat dissipation is essential to inhibit malfunctions and premature failure. The application of fillers in a polymer matrix enhances...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
