- • Mechanical and Thermal Performance of Bio-Based Composite Panels Using Agricultural and Industrial Waste
- • Utilization of Recycled Plastic and Natural Polymers in the Fabrication of Lightweight Construction Panels
- • Enhancing the Performance of Starch-Based Binders Using Nanoclay for Sustainable Waste-Derived Composite Panels
Expected Output
The project aims to divert waste from landfills, reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional material production, and promote low-cost and environmentally friendly alternatives for both rural and urban infrastructure development. The development of a scalable, low-cost fabrication system further enhances the study’s practical relevance, making sustainable construction technology more accessible, especially in resource-limited communities.
