Thermal Properties of Waste Paper Composites

The paper describes the production, thermal properties analysis and possible application as a structural material of waste paper composites. The main reason for doing this kind of research is the daily growing need for materials which give acceptable heat insulating characteristics, have low productions costs, and at the same time are environmentally friendly. The described composite material is produced by mixing polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) as a matrix with shredded waste paper as reinforcement. Analysed thermal properties are: thermal conductivity, specific thermal coefficient, and heat propagation. It is concluded that the thermal properties of the waste paper composite are comparable to the thermal properties of wood.
