Although many advanced insulation materials have been recently developed, very few are
eco-friendly and their production requires a substantial amount of energy and complex
manufacturing processes. To address this issue, a bio-based thermal insulation material
was developed using short-and long-grained puffed rice. A set of experiments was
subsequently carried out to identify the best rice type and the optimal range for the most
influential parameters (sample amount, temperature, and moisture level). Our findings …
