Observation

A)water absorption co-efficient increases

as density increases B)wood waste has
slightly increased resistance to water
vapour diffusion relative to wood fibre
material C)Thermal conductivity of
material increases as density, moisture
content and temperature increases

husk compostite material is best suitable

composite of thermal conductivity less
than 0.1W/m-k

A)Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)

relatively intense; this implies that it is
more crystalline than bleached and
unbleached micro/nanocellulose crystals
(MNCC) and raw fiber
B)The average diameter of the
unbleached cellulose was 657.0 nm
C)Thermal stability of the cellulose
improved due to the chemical treatments
A)moisture content enhances the thermal
conductivity of wood-based
composites(hydrophobic coating)
B)temperature increment enhances the
thermal motion of solid molecules
C)the crystallinity of cellulose structure
deviated at higher temperature and
resulted in
lose in their mechanical properties and
also altered their ability of heat
conduction
D)The value of thermal
conductivity
increases by increasing the density and
specimen temperature

Using the cellulose fibre as insulation

material under dynamic heat transfer
conditions is further advantageous as
compared to other materials because it is
a renewable, recyclable, environment
friendly and has lower embodied energy

bamboo waste has good flexural

properties but its fire resistive
properties ,water or vapour absorption
and microbiological resistance is very bad.

The water vapour resistance factor for the

leather cutting waste (μ = 27–30) and rise
husk (μ = 41) panels are higher than the
values measured for other mineral fibres-
based panels, such as sheep wool, wood,
and cork (values of about 3–10).
A)62.5% of metakaolin, 12.5% of fly ash,
and 25% of activator were foamed using
H2O2 in a ratio of 1:1.5:2%, which resulted
in geopolymer foams with a density of
225–506 kg/m3 and thermal conductivity
of 0.07–0.12 W/mK.
B) the porous structure of
foams is very much affected by the use of
surfactants C)soil can be used as a
precursor for geopolymer formation.
Various additives, such as
coke dust waste, can be added to improve
the mechanical strength.
