The aim of this paper consists on the improvement of thermal properties and lightness of gypsum plaster by combining it with granular cork collected from Moroccan Maamora’s forest. This composite material is intended to be used in false ceiling such as cork–gypsum board instead of plasterboard; its use will be a contribution to improve energy efficiency in buildings. By varying the granular cork size, an experimental investigation of thermal proprieties of gypsum based composite material with embedded granular cork was mainly performed using the asymmetrical transient Hot Plate method. A comparative study based on other experiments (Differential Scanning Calorimeter and Steady state Hot Plate) was realized and the thermal conductivity results were confronted to different theoretical models of equivalent thermal conductivity determination. The experimental results exhibit a good agreement with the weighted geometric mean equation.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández-Olivares, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bollati, M R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development of cork–gypsum composites for building applications</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Construction and Building Materials</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">acoustics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Building materials</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork-gypsum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">partitions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">walls</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">179-186</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3491336651</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper presents an experimental analysis on a new composite material, cork]gypsum composite. It is shown that cork and plaster are mutually compatible and that a lot of new building materials can be made by mixing those materials in different volume fractions. Mechanical properties of the cork]gypsum composite have been measured. The acoustic absorption coefﬁcient and thermal conductivity of this new composite have also been experimentally obtained and those values are reported for design purposes. Concerning the acoustical insulation characteristics, this composite is not a sound-absorbing material but a reﬂecting one, and it needs some kind of perforations to behave as an absorbing construction material for sound and noise. The thermal insulation properties are quite good as a result of the thermal conductivity tests. This new composite material is suggested for use in building applications as partitions.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
