The main objective of this Final Master Project is to develop a local thermal insulation material, with low environmental impact, which can contribute to improve the living conditions in new urban area of Burkina Faso. For this, we use biomaterials, locally available, that results as wastes or byproducts of agricultural industry, in specific, peanut shells and sorghum canes. We´ve worked on the development and selection of diverse formulations, looking to obtain a rigid and lightweight panel, by making different specimens, varying the particle size, the type of binder (fishtail glue, bones glue, nere extract, lime or earth) and proportions between dry material/ binder (dry weight). After determining the general properties of the formulations developed, the specimens were tested for thermal conductivity, fire behavior and mechanical tensile behavior. The binders were analyzed separately by assaying them in the micro-calorimeter.
