Improvement of insulation thermal qualities of two kinds of clays by combining them with granular cork

This work has been done to improve thermal insulation qualities of two kinds of clay by combining them with granular cork. The clays compared, were taken from two regions in Morocco near Rabat and Ifrane. The thermal properties of the two composites were measured using the asymmetrical hot plate method in steady state and flash method. A comparison of energy gain has been done between the clays to confirm the behavior of cork inthe clay matrix.
