The suitability of using environmental waste (polystyrene foam, sawdust and eggshells) for developing a hybrid composite for ceiling boards

This study considers the suitability of using environmental wastes (polystyrene foam, sawdust and eggshell) for development composite materials ceiling boards. The were collected from dumping sites processed accordingly. elemental compositions eggshell examined Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (ASS) plasma-optical emission spectrometer (Optimal 3100XL Perkin Elmer) respectively. Properties samples determined appropriate ASTM standards (ASTM D570, C109-95, D3479, E1530 D7336/D7336M). results show that with a mix ratio 5% Polystyrene, 10% 40% exhibited most suitable properties board production or indoor uses in building: water absorption (0.52 6.17% 2 24hours respectively), tensile strength (2.362 N/mm2), elongation at break (0.677 mm), compressive (0.1575 energy to (0.016 N.m) thermal conductivity 0.0221 W/M.K. Thus, some bio-wastes can be domesticated Nigeria.
