Abstract

(up to 500 words)

 

Textile materials from sustainable natural resources are suitable for the building construction domain. Such textile materials can meet the following functionalities:

-          Heat insulation

-          Phonic insulation

-          Mechanic resistance for consolidation

In order to meet these functionalities nonwoven fabrics will be performed with reinforced woven structures for mechanical resistance.

The nonwoven component of the materials will ensure the heat / phonic insulation and will be performed from natural, renewable resources, like bast fibers (e.g. hemp).   

Nevertheless, raw materials from recycled materials, like PET fibers from recycled PET bottles, will be studied.

The three main functionalities will be tested accordingly to the standards and tailored for specific building construction applications.

 

Keywords (up to 5)

Textiles, buildings, heat insulation, phonic insulation, reinforcing

 

Envisaged partners sought

Nonwoven producing SMEs, European research providers
