Summary

The study and development of an innovative material for building insulation is really important for a sustainable society in order to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption. The aim of this work is the development of insulating panels for sustainable buildings based on an innovative material made of waste paper and PCMs. Phase Change Materials (PCMs) have been used for many years in the building industry as smart insulation technology because of their properties of storing and releasing high quantity of latent heat at useful temperatures. The integration of PCMs into cellulose matrix during the waste paper recycling process has been developed in order to obtain a composite material with enhanced thermal properties suitable for building panels. In order to guarantee safety and durability of the product the addition of flame retardant and anti-humidity additives into the composite material has been studied. The results obtained have shown the possibility to realize an innovative and sustainable material suitable to replace insulating panels presently used.
