This study aimed to develop a biocomposite based on local materials: natural fibers and plaster. The natural fibers used are date palm fibers waste from Gabes oasis, Tunisia. In order to characterize these materials, many properties were investigated experimentally (i.e., size, thermal behavior, and microstructural characteristics). On the biocomposite samples, compressive and flexural strength, as well as water absorption tests were performed, properties which increased with the addition of fiber wastes. In order to improve the composite durability, chemical treatments with sodium hypochlorite and resin coating were carried out to decrease surface tension and improve adhesion with the plaster matrix. As a result, the biocomposite showed satisfactory physical, thermal, and mechanical performances, which qualify it as a thermal insulation building material. 2020 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37072372020 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37072372020/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37072372020/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37072372020/37072372020.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/370/37072372020/movil 10.20937/RICA.53541 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.2 Vol.36 |
