Effect of Hemp Shive Sizes on Mechanical Properties of Lightweight Fibrous Composites

Procedia Engineering, 2012
AbstractIn this paper, the impact of mean size of anisometric hemp shives particles (length) on compressive strength and other parameters of lightweight composites is studied. Sample of hemp shive with a wide lengths distribution (8 – 0.2mm; mean length: 33.7mm) and two separated fractions (< 4mm and 4-8mm) with mean length of particles 7.3mm and 27 ...

Experimental justification for sapropel and hemp shives use as thermal insulations in Latvia

ENVIRONMENT. TECHNOLOGY. RESOURCES. Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference, 2015
Fossil energy resources in Latvia are imported from other countries, but at the same time, our country is rich in renewable energy resources and other raw materials, which are used very little. In the study it is proposed to create a thermal insulation material from hemp shives grown in Latvia as a filler material and lake sediment - sapropel as a ...

The impact of modifying hemp shives with water glass on selected propertiesof hemp-cement-lime composite

Annals of WULS, Forestry and Wood Technology
The impact of modifying hemp shives with water glass on selected properties of hemp-cement-limecomposite. The influence of the addition and modification of hemp shives with water glass on selected propertiesof the hemp-cement-limestone composite was investigated. Nine variants of composites were produced, differingin the volume content of hemp husks: 0%
