Description
A 433.3 KB dataset by Mohamed El-Sayed Ali, last updated in April 2026, presents experimental results for composite boards made from discarded medical isolation gowns and waste coffee filters. The data includes measurements of thermal conductivity, sound absorption, flexural modulus, thermal stability, and moisture content for loose, bound, and hybrid board types. This research demonstrates a waste-to-product transformation for building materials.
Use Cases
Benchmarking thermal insulation performance based on reported conductivity coefficients of 0.038–0.070 W/m·K.
Modeling acoustic absorption in buildings based on sound absorption coefficients exceeding 0.4 for frequencies above 500 Hz.
Assessing mechanical properties for material design based on flexural modulus values ranging from 0.28 to 1.6 MPa.
Evaluating material stability for manufacturing based on the reported thermal stability range of 298–354°C.
Strengths
Reports specific, measured material properties including thermal conductivity (0.038–0.070 W/m·K) and sound absorption coefficients (>0.4).
Includes data on multiple composite types: loose, bound, and hybrid boards.
Provides key material constants like moisture content (0.5% for gowns, 4% for filters) and flexural modulus (0.28–1.6 MPa).
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
The dataset is small (433.3 KB), indicating a limited experimental scope.
