Abstract
A thermal insulating material made from date palm surface fibers and a method of manufacturing the thermal insulating material using waste material from the date palm tree is provided. The thermal insulating material includes date palm surface fibers and polyvinyl alcohol. The method may include softening date palm surface fibers (DPSF), drying the DPSF, infusing the DPSF with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and casting the PVA infused DPSF to produce the thermal insulating material made from date palm surface fibers. The thermal insulating material has a low thermal conductivity, demonstrating its suitability to insulating structures.
