Study of Hydrothermal Behavior of Thermal Insulating Materials Based On Natural Fibers

Thermal insulation materials based on natural fibers
represent a very promising area of materials based on natural easy
renewable row sources. These materials may be in terms of the
properties of most competing synthetic insulations, but show
somewhat higher moisture sensitivity and thermal insulation
properties are strongly influenced by the density and orientation of
fibers. The paper described the problem of hygrothermal behavior of
thermal insulation materials based on natural plant and animal fibers.
This is especially the dependence of the thermal properties of these
materials on the type of fiber, bulk density, temperature, moisture and
the fiber orientation.
