Porous Maize Stalk Cellulose Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Composites for Heat Insulation at the Bottom Side of a Local Electric Stove

The objective of this work is to develop porous maize stalk cellulose fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites for heat insulation on the bottom side an electric stove using solid impregnation method. Heat loss measurement conducted infrared thermometer. Moreover, temperature effect investigated. fibers are very essential anticipate cracking phenomenon generated by high temperatures. degradation causes formation small cavities in matrix, and thus leads experimental result shows that it takes 22 minutes boil water proposed stove, whereas 29 existing local stove. By water, 113,793,148.104 KWh energy per year at national level can be saved.
