Propuesta para la elaboración de un panel de fibras naturales para el aislamiento térmico en edificaciones con uso de vivienda

Abstract

Abstract: The present research work proposes obtaining a panel with natural fibers as an alternative of sustainable construction material for buildings with the use of living place. The work is divided into three phases: the first phase includes the review literature on sugarcane fiber, rice ashes/husks and cocoa and study references. The second phase includes the proposal and development of prototypes of panels with natural fibers from sugarcane bagasse, husks and rice ashes and cocoa. The third phase includes tests of density, humidity, water absorption, heat transfer and fire resistance of the proposed panels. It is concluded that the panels made of gypsum matrix and additions of natural fiber from sugarcane bagasse sugar, ashes and husks of rice and cocoa, improve the thermal insulation properties; allowing the recovery of agricultural waste materials and providing solutions sustainable materials for the production of insulating construction materials for buildings with housing use.
