Lightweight thermally insulating fired clay bricks enhanced with chitosan-based clay nanocomposites for sustainable construction

Abstract This study explores the enhancement of thermal insulation in fired clay bricks through the incorporation of chitosan (CS) as a biopolymeric dopant. A series of composite samples were prepared with CS concentrations of 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, and their structural, mechanical, and thermophysi...
