This research presented the studies on the production and properties of thermal insulation produced from durian peel fiber and natural rubber latex. The thermal insulation were made by spray the pre-treated natural rubber latex onto durian peel fiber in the fiber : binder ratios of 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 to form squared thermal insulation with the size of 20 cm and 1.5 cm thickness. Thermal conductivity measured in accordance with American Society for Testing Materials standard was found to be 0.026 W /m K with density of 143 kg m-3 which closed to the commercial insulator. The success of this study shown that the thermal insulation made from durian peel fiber and natural rubber latex exhibited a good thermal insulation and extremely potential to instead of the synthesis fibrous insulator.

The objective of this study was to investigate the thermal property of thermal insulation board produced from admixtures of pineapple leaf fiber and natural rubber latex at different proportion level and the thermal property was evaluated based on the American Society for Testing Materials standard. Thermal insulation boards were fabricated using a hot pressing technique at a temperature of 150 °C under a pressure of 100 kg/cm2 for 5 min to form a squared thermal insulation with the size of 35 cm and 0.9 cm thickness. The thermal conductivity of the thermal insulation was 0.057 W /m K with density of 338 kg/m3. The success of this study primarily proclaims a high feasibility of producing thermal insulation from pineapple leaf fiber and natural rubber latex as a substitute for synthetic fiber.

Adding 0, 20, and 50 wt% natural-rubber latex compound into the plaster ceiling matrix affected to increase the physical-mechanical-thermal performance properties of plaster ceiling composites. Adding 50 wt% natural rubber latex compound into plaster composites can increase the superior adhesion of the nail-tensile resistance equal to 57.54 N and decrease thermal conductivity equal to 0.0634 W/m.K. In addition, adding natural rubber latex compounds into plaster composites can reduce water solubility, brittleness, impact, and cost of energy consumption due to the exterior temperature. Adequate thermal insulation for roofing, ceiling, and wall systems also reduces radiative losses that chill occupants in cold weather, and reduce interior surface temperatures in the summer, thereby optimizing the comfort of building occupants. The mechanical and thermal properties of plaster composites were investigated by using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and heat flow meter, respectively, measured according to TIS 1211-50, TIS 219-2522, and ASTM C518.

Graphene is a new type of carbon material with excellent performance. It not only has good electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, but also can be used as a filler of natural latex materials to optimize the thermal conductivity of natural latex materials. Therefore, graphene is widely used in aviation, automobile, machinery and other fields. In order to study the influence of the coordination ratio of graphene and rubber materials on the thermal conductivity, the natural rubber latex was first diluted and dissolved with volatile organic solvent toluene; then 0g, 0.5g, 1g, 1.5g, 2g, and graphene were respectively mixed into 20g natural rubber latex to prepare 6 thin samples (type I, type II, type III, type IV, type V, type VI). Finally, the thermal conductivity of 6 samples was measured by fla laser thermal conductivity instrument. The results showed that with the increase of graphene dosage, the thermal conductivity of natural rubber latex sheet increased significantly; when the ratio of graphene dosage to natural rubber latex was about 1:10, the rate of improving thermal conductivity of natural rubber latex decreased.
