    Abstract

    In this thesis, a novel approach has been used to provide beneficial insights for the development of new ‘environmental-friendly nanomaterials’, especially for building applications. This new approach includes the combination of thermal pre-treatment of nanoclay (i.e., producing calcined nanoclay) and chemical pre-treatment of natural fibre surfaces, to improve the microstructure, mechanical, physical and thermal properties, as well as the durability of hemp fibre-reinforced cement composites.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
