Investigation of the length and percentage fiber influence of Typha Australis on biosourced composites

Abstract

This paper discusses the influence and content of Typha Australis fibers on the thermal and mechanical properties of clay composites. The objective is to find a better combination of length and percentage of fibers. This combination will allow to have a good compromise between thermal and mechanical properties. The results found at the end of this study are conclusive. Indeed, the increase of the length and the percentages of fibres improve the thermal properties but the values of the compressive resistances decrease.
