Effect of hemp content and clay stabilization on hygric and thermal properties of hemp-clay composites

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect clay stabilization and hemp content on hygric thermal performances. This experimental study based measurement sorption isotherm, moisture buffer value properties. water conductivity also investigated. results show that Hemp Clay Composites (HCC) Stabilized (HSCC) are hygroscopic buffering materials. correlations between identified for curves. An innovative analysis contribution binder performed. values classify designed composites as excellent regulators according Nordtest classification. ranges from 0.089 0.120 W/(m.K) at dry state, making them suitable distributed insulation. increases linearly with density, two binders investigated in study. Besides, too. Finally, underlines high hygrothermal qualities.
