Agro-fibres biocomposites' applications and design potentials in contemporary architecture : case study: rice straw biocomposites
Out of awareness of the global environmental factors, sustainability principles, eco-efficiency and architectural needs, an investigation of the straw potentials in building industry is thoroughly carried out in this research. Rice straw (RS) is selected as an example of agricultural plant residues fibres, agro-fibres, which are worldwide available, but still though burnt in huge amounts in open fields causing high potentials loss, described in energy, and fiber-resource destruction in addition to the local air pollution and climate change. Classic straw-bale applications in the building industry do not absorb the available straw amounts and still have many technical and aesthetic drawbacks. Accordingly, it was suggested hereby to apply straw as a main biocomposite ingredient, whether as a fibre-source or as an eco-filler. Three main biocomposite forms of rice straw and organic polymers’ compositions were developed throughout this research. Then they were tested and analyzed for their architectural applications’ possibilities according to their technical properties. The three developed rice straw-based biocomposites provide another aspect of the possibility of applying agro-fibres in sustainable building industry. Fibre-based industries, including fibreboards’ manufacturing and molded natural fibre reinforced composites can depend on straw agro-fibres as a main available and cheap fibre-resource. Hence, cheaper and more environmentally friendly biocomposite products could spread in the architectural applications, reducing the total carbon dioxide footprint and replacing expensive fossil-based and slow renewable wood products that are still widely spread in the markets.
