Processing and Characterization of Novel Bio-Waste Hybrid Brick Composites for Pollution Control

Abstract

The main focus of this research is to enhance the use of eco-friendly materials these days. The current materials used in building construction are chemical-based and are harmful to humans and the environment. This research work has developed a new type of hybrid brick by using natural fibres and waste materials. This research focuses on fabricating novel bricks reinforced with different percentages of coconut waste fibre, wheat straw fibre, waste wood animal dung ash, gypsum, sand, and cement. The fabricated novel brick’s physical, mechanical, chemical, acoustic, and heat-absorbing properties were evaluated.
