摘要

This work is part of a sustainable development approach by promoting the use of local and bio-based raw materials such as Typha, rice husk, residues from threshing millet ears, and cassava starch. The main objective was to develop, characterize, and apply these resources in innovative solutions. A manufacturing process was developed, along with specific formulations derived from these raw materials. The characterization of the materials enabled the determination of their key properties, including bulk density, mechanical characteristics and thermal properties. Composite panels were designed and integrated into an egg incubator prototype using these local materials. The results obtained show an efficient thermal insulation with thermal conductivity panels of 0.08 W/mK and satisfactory performance in terms of egg hatching of 83% were achieved words.
