Characterization of the thermal behavior, mechanical resistance, and reaction to fire of totora (Schoenoplectus californicus (C.A. Mey.) Sojak) panels and their potential use as a sustainable construction material

The extraction and use of construction materials generate an impact on the environment due to human activity. Facing these problems requires the development of new alternatives that support changes toward sustainable construction. The development of materials using natural resources creates an impor...

Studies have demonstrated that one of the characteristics of this plant is its low thermal conductivity, which reveals its potential for insulation.
