Description
Summary:This work is part of a larger project which aims to promote traditional, environmentally friendly materials, such as wheat straw, which mixed with organic or inorganic binders can lead to the formation of new materials for thermal insulation. These can be good temperature and moisture regulators, ensuring a pleasant environment and having a positive impact on human health. This study intends to obtain a new insulation material using our own recipe which contains milled wheat straw, mixed with a traditional binder in order to finally form a mortar. Straw represents waste in agriculture, which in most cases is burned in the field, thus contributing to carbon dioxide emissions, an annually recurring phenomenon which has become a concern for authorities.
