Novel sustainable hemp-based composites for application in the building industry: Physical, thermal and mechanical characterization (2014, background): “, jute, flax, hemp, cotton, cellulose) have been extensively studied, as natural fibers exhibit several positive characteristics: low thermal conductivity, low density, good specific tensile properties [3,7,8].”
Performance evaluation and research of alternative thermal insulations based on sheep wool (2012, background): “The objective of a previous joint project between Brno University of Technology (VUT Brno) and the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) was the development, optimization, and observation of the behaviour of thermally insulating materials composed of easily renewable raw material resources ori”
Energy and environmental assessment of industrial hemp for building applications: A review (2015, positive): “[79] proposed the use of hemp, jute, and flax fibres for developing new insulating materials with physical, mechanical, and insulating properties comparable to those of the commonly used building insulation materials.”
Thermal and sound insulation materials from waste wool and recycled polyester fibers and their biodegradation studies (2015, background): “In another paper, authors reported that the thermal insulation materials made from natural raw materials are suitable alternatives to the conventional materials [21”
