Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Green Insulation Composites Made from Cannabis and Bark Residues

The objective of this paper was to investigate the technical feasibility manufacturing low density insulation particleboards that were made from two renewable resources, namely hemp fibers (Cannabis sativa) and pine tree bark, which bonded with a non-toxic methyl cellulose glue, as binder. Four types panels made, consisted varying mixtures bark (tree percentages 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40). An additional set consisting only bark. results showed addition furnish improved mechanical properties boards reach an acceptable level. thermal conductivity unfavorably increased content increased, though all values still within range. Based on cluster analysis, board type 70:30 (with 30% content) produced highest well optimal value. It is concluded can be successfully using these waste raw materials.
