Abstract

Green composites used in construction are unlike natural fiber composites developed for automotive and other structural composites where particles or fibers are combined with a polymer matrix to form a composite material, often in the form of relatively thin sheets. Green composites for construction are designed to satisfy the requirements of low-energy, zero-carbon green buildings where walls and other structural building components are highly thermally insulating and breathable, ensuring effective climatic control. Coatings have ...
