This article aims at assessing the impact of rice husk ash and volcanic ashes on the processing of porous inorganic polymers. The addition of volcanic ash or rice husk ash in porous Inorganic Polymer Composites (IPC) allows for the reduction of sodium silicate necessary, improving ...
The effects of solid phase thermal conductivity, pore thermal conductivity, and pore volume fraction on the measured effective thermal conductivity of porous ceramics with pore volume fractions of 4 to 95% were investigated. The experimental results were then compared with pre-existing numerical models. It was found that ...
In this study, the insulating properties of building materials made out of recycled plant particles were tested with both the laser flash method and the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. The tests were conducted with aggregates of sunflower pith with particle sizes 1, 1.5, and 2.5 mm, to ...
