The Use of Sapropel in Development of Effective Thermal Insulating Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents investigations of thermal conductivity, tensile strength and compressive stress at 10% deformation of effective thermal insulation composites made from hemp shives and sapropel. Images of hemp shives and hemp composite microstructure obtained by scaning electron microscope (SEM) are analised. The paper presents properties of composite from seven compositions. Composite forming mixture contains different amount of sapropel as well as paper production wastes (PPW) obtained in paper processing industry.
