Abstract

Most structural insulation panels are made out of petroleum based plastics. The goal of this project was to create a strong, durable panel with good insulation properties. This panel was to be bio-based and made from materials that are significantly "greener" than preexisting solutions. The reason for creating a bio-based panel was to eliminate the carbon footprint left by creating and using currently available insulation panels. The panel was to be a sandwich structure created from polylactic acid (PLA) & flax composites layered on top of foam cores.
