Hygrothermal characterization of cement mortar composites incorporating micronized miscanthus fibers by Franck Komi Gbekou, Ferhat Benmahiddine, Abderrahim Boudenne, Rafik Belarbi, Anissa Eddhahak, Karim Benzarti

“…In addition, the GAB model (Guggenheim- Anderson- de Boer) was used to fit the sorption and desorption isotherms, yielding a good correspondence with experimental data. Finally, mortars with the higher fiber contents (M7.5 F and M10F with 5.70 wt% and 6.94 wt% of fibers, respectively) combined high hygroscopicity and low thermal conductivity values (even under moisture-saturated conditions), making them promising candidates for applications requiring both good hygric performance and effective insulation properties.…”
