  • Load-bearing and heat-insulating structural element made of typha leaf mass
    Patent number: 10414120
    Abstract: A load-bearing and heat-insulating structural element having a thickness and a planar extension composed of longitudinally cut Typha leaves, which yield rod-shaped Typha leaf particles, wherein the rod-shaped Typha leaf particles are oriented perpendicularly to the thickness of the structural element and are joined among each other by way of bonding, preferably a mineral bonding having no significant non-mineral additives.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 18, 2013
    Date of Patent: September 17, 2019

  • Reinforcement for a material made from a moldable composition
    Patent number: 9803086
    Abstract: Reinforcement for a material may be provided that includes a moldable composition, particularly for a building material, in which barley awns and seed parachutes, such as from bulrush seeds, are present as components in the reinforcement. The seed parachutes may comprise stem fibers and lateral fibers branching off therefrom, where the lateral fibers of the seed parachutes are connected to one another by the barley awns. The barley awns may have a weight proportion of approximately 0.1 to approximately 2 times, such as approximately 0.5 to approximately 1 time, higher than the weight proportion of the seed parachutes. A building material may be provided that includes the described reinforcement. A method for producing the building material may also be provided.
