Potential Use of Waste Paper/Sludge as a Ceiling Board Material

Article Preview

Abstract:

A material was made from cement/waste paper/sludge mixture and tests were carried out on it to ascertain its suitability as a ceiling board material. The tests included water absorption, drying shrinkage, flexural strength, thermal conductivity, and compressive strength. The results showed that the material possesses good properties as a ceiling board material.
