Enhancement of Thermal and Sound Insulation Properties of Cement Composite Roofing Tile by Addition of Nanocellulose Coated Pineapple Fiber and Modified Rubber Tire Waste

Abstract:

In this work, the enhancement of thermal and sound insulation properties of cement composite roofing tile with nanocellulose coated pineapple fiber and modified waste tire rubber is studied. The composite was composed of bacterial nanocellose (BNC) coated pineapple fibers, modified rubber particles, platicizer and type I Portland cement in the weight ratio of 10:50:0.8:100 with the water to cement ratio (w/c) of 0.5. The thermal conducitity of the fiber rubber cement composite could be reduced to 0.1080 ± 0.0048 W/m.K as opposed to 0.3810 ± 0.0041 and 0.5860 ± 0.0050 W/m.K for the fiber cement and the rubber cement composites, respectively. Moreover, the noise reduction coefficient of the fiber rubber cement composite could be increased to 0.2832 as opposed to 0.2143 and 0.1899 for the fiber cement and the rubber cement composites, respectively. These results revealed that adding nanocellulose coated pineapple fiber and modified rubber particles together to the cement composite can enhance the thermal insulation and sound absorption abilities of the composite roof tile significantly better than adding each constituent separately.
