Sugar cane bagasse fibres reinforced cement composites: Thermal considerations

Abstract: This paper examines the thermal properties of cement composites reinforced with vegetable bagasse fibres (1.5 and 3% wrtc). Thermal properties have been correlated to macroscopic density and porosity in order to estimate thermal conductivity of fibres using a calculation inspired from Maxwell Eucken modelling. Experimental investigations reveal that adding retified bagasse fibres reduces composites thermal conductivity and yields a weaker specific heat in comparison with composites made with alkaline bagasse f… Show more

“…Studies aimed at the development of bio-based insulating composites report that they have lower thermal conductivity, are cheaper, durable, lightweight and environmental friendly compared to conventional ones [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, the binder (matrix) used in the insulating biocomposites is often mainly produced from petroleum-based polymers or from mineral resource (cement) [15][16].…”
