The objective of this research was to develop lightweight cement mortars with good thermal-
insulation properties by incorporating expanded polystyrene (EPS) and paper sludge ash …

The objective of this article is to carry out a comparative study of the main hygrothermal
properties of five thermal insulation materials for buildings. These properties are necessary …

An experimental study was carried out on buildings constructed in the 1980s adopting
vertical envelopes with a glass wool insulation layer in the cavity. The aims of this study are …

Energy efficient buildings are unimaginable without highly insulating thermal envelopes.
Mineral wool among others is a popular material for thermal insulation. Architects and …

As an alternative to combustion, the effect of adding a problematic, high sulphur content pet
coke with different particle sizes on the thermal conductivity of Portland cement pastes and …

The paper presents the results of research concerning three fiber materials–hemp fiber,
cellulose fiber and mineral wool as a loose-fill thermal insulation materials. It focused on the …

Moisture and heat management properties of Hemp and Stone Wool insulations were
studied by mounting them between a hot and a cold climate chamber. Both insulations were …

Mineral wool made from basalt fibers is frequently used as an insulating material in
construction systems. In this study, both unused mineral wool and wool obtained from the …

The structure and properties of the glass can be modified by introducing appropriate
additives. Dolomite is one of the primary raw materials modifying the properties of glass, in …

This research article presents the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of cement-
based composite containing nano-silica. The effects of nano-silica particle size (12 nm, 50 …
