The thermal and mechanical performance of cement-based composites with enhanced thermal insulation properties
Original language description
Cement-based composites are characterized by their good mechanical properties but they often lack a thermal insulation capability. In this paper, crushed waste polypropylene (PP) originating from PP tubes production is applied for the preparation of composites with enhanced thermal insulation properties which can be used for a reduction of heat transfer in contemporary buildings. In the composite design, the natural aggregate is substituted with the plastic waste in amounts of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60% bymass. A reference mixture without plastic addition is studied as well, for the sake of comparison. For the researched PP granular aggregate, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity are measured in dependence on powder density and material compacting using an impulse technique. In this way, the possibility of improvement of thermal insulation properties of cement-based composites is accessed. The assessment of heat transport and storage properties of plasti
