Abstract

The aim of the present work pointed out the introduction of natural alkalised alpha fibres as reinforcement in the preparation of partially biodegradable green insulation material composite. Thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and acoustical performances of composites were investigated as a function of fibre content. We found that 10% of alkali solution improve the hydrophobic character, mechanical and interfacial properties of the fibers. Composites made of alfa fibers-polyurethane resin has exhibited good mechanical and acoustical properties. At 20% of reinforcement the Young modulus and tensile stress increased by 48.14% and 74.12%, respectively.
