In this work, the properties of the composite produced from waste carton with various tiger
nut fibre contents having cassava starch slurry as binder were investigated. The results …

Large quantities of coconut husks generated are under-utilized. In developing countries, this
situation warrants their disposal by open burning or indiscriminate dumping. Either practice …

In this study, comparison of thermal insulation efficiency of some select materials frequently
used as ceiling in building design was investigated. The results show that the five samples …

In this research, the suitability of composite panels developed from waste carton paste
(WCP) and Musanga cecropioides heartwood particles (MHP) was assessed for structural …

Most building materials, particularly roofing and walling materials, are good conductors of

The thermal characteristics of laterite-mud samples and concrete-block samples were
investigated using a Lees' apparatus with a view to find which of the two samples would be a …

For a self-cooling building, alternative sources of roofing and ceiling materials in building
design was investigated. The thermal property of Rattan palms (Calamus deërratus), Raffia …

The shell, pulp and seed of Raphia hookeri and Raphia farinifera fruits obtained from Kwara
and Enugu States, Nigeria were investigated. Four solvents (n-hexane, ethyl acetate …

Thermal implication of oil spillage on select soil samples obtained from different locations of
the Niger Delta was performed. Three different soil samples of Beach ridge sand; medium …

The present economic situation in Nigeria has made the search for alternative structurally
and thermally suitable indigenous building materials necessary. This paper investigates and …
