The feasibility of using organic fiber filler as reinforcing fibers for non-autoclaved foamed concrete composites is discussed in the paper. The aim of the research is to analyze the factors affecting the strength and thermal insulation properties of foamed concrete and fiber concrete. Moreover, the study purpose is to obtain correlations for predicting the technological properties of thermal insulation foamed concrete and fiber concrete mixtures. The results of studying the indicators of compressive strength, bending, and thermal conductivity of a foamed fiber concrete composition with organic fiber filler are presented. The optimal sizes and amounts of organic filler made of straw are determined. The introduction of 15-30% of the total mixture mass is the most effective. In this case, the compressive strength increases by 28%, and the value of the thermal conductivity coefficient decreases by 8% compared with the control samples.

Aimed at improving the waterproofing property of foamed concrete, a heat-insulating and waterproofing composite applied in underground engineering was prepared by using cementitious capillary crystalline waterproofing material and foamed concrete. The properties of foamed concrete and composite such as compressive strength, water absorption and thermal conductivity were tested and contrasted, and the compounding reaction mechanism was analyzed. The results show that, compared with foamed concrete, the water absorption of composite has been significantly reduced while the heat-insulating property of foamed concrete is maintained and the overall waterproofing and heat-insulation performance has been significantly improved. A new approach solving underground heat-harm such as high temperature and high humidity is provided.

Recycling of materials is an important point of sustainable construction. The aim is to find a compromise between energy saving, economy and ecology. The contribution discusses the production of thermal insulation composite material made of polymers. Uniform dispersion of grains of foamy glass waste (filler) in polymer filling from recycled thermoplastics induces formation of particle composite. The production supports usage of secondary raw materials. Decisive properties in choosing the materials to be applied include mainly the coefficient of thermal conductivity, density, compressive strength and water absorption.

Matrix derived from resin after carbonization in rigid carbon felt thermal insulation has many advantages. The microstructures and properties of these materials were investigated in this paper. Results showed that matrix tend to accumulate at the intersections of fibers. This can improve mechanical properties and have a little influence on thermal conductivities of the composites. The excellent bending strength of 2.66MPa, compressive strength of 0.91MPa and a high thermal conductivity of 0.81W/(m·K) (at 1500°C) with a matrix concentration of 32.7% is achieved. However, high thermal conductivity is harmful for those materials which are used as thermal insulators.

This paper presents a laboratory study on the effect of air entraining agent on the performance of thermal insulating mortar with glazed hollow bead. The test results show that with the dosage of air entraining agent increases, the consistency of thermal insulating mortar increases, apparent density, thermal conductivity and drying shrinkage decline, However, the compressive strength greater losses owing to excessive consumption of air entraining agent; air entraining agent within a certain dosage can significantly improve the operating performance of thermal insulation mortar, increase its consistency and reduce its apparent density, thermal conductivity coefficient and drying shrinkage. Due to excessive addition of air entraining agent, the apparent density, thermal conductivity and compressive strength of thermal insulation mortar all increase. For a specific insulation mortar, there will exist the best mixing amount of air entraining agent.

Abstract Shrinkage of foam concrete can easily cause cracking and thus makes it difficult for a manufacturer to maintain quality. The density of lightweight aggregate concrete is too high to meet specifications for lightweight and thermal insulation for wallboard. Two types of concrete with dry density in the range 1000–1200 kg/m3 for use in wallboard were designed and prepared using foam and lightweight aggregate. The properties of porous lightweight aggregate concrete with core-shell non-sintered lightweight aggregate were compared with sintered lightweight aggregate concrete along with several dimensions. The two aggregates were similar in particle size, density, and strength. The effects of each aggregate on the workability, compressive strength, dry shrinkage, and thermal conductivity of the lightweight concrete were analyzed and compared. Pore structures were determined by mercury intrusion porosimetry and X-ray computed tomography. Compressive strength ranged from 7.8 to 11.8 MPa, and thermal conductivity coefficients ranged from 0.193 to 0.219 W/m/K for both types of concrete. The results showed that the core-shell non-sintered lightweight aggregate bonded better with the paste matrix at the interface transition zone and had a better pore structure than the sintered lightweight aggregate concrete. Slump flow of the core-shell non-sintered lightweight aggregate concrete was about 20% greater than that of the sintered lightweight aggregate concrete, 28d compressive strength was about 10% greater, drying shrinkage was about 10% less, and thermal conductivity was less. Porous lightweight aggregate concrete using core-shell non-sintered lightweight aggregate performs well when used in wallboard because of its low density, high thermal insulation, and improved strength.

Rigid polyurethane foams were synthesized using a renewable polyol from the simple physical mixture of castor oil and crude glycerol. The effect of the catalyst and blowing agent in the foams properties was evaluated. The use of physical blowing agent (cyclopentane and n-pentane) allowed obtaining foams with smaller cells in comparison with the foams produced with a chemical blowing agent (water). The increase of water content caused a decrease of density, thermal conductivity, compressive strength and Young's modulus, which indicates that the increment of CO2 production contributes to the formation of larger cells. Higher amount of catalyst in the foam formulations caused a slight density decrease and an increase small significance of thermal conductivity, compressive strength and Young's modulus values. These green foams presented properties that indicate a great potential to be used as thermal insulation, as density (23 - 41 kg m-3), thermal conductivity (0.0128 – 0.0207 W m-1 K-1), compressive strength (45 - 188 kPa) and Young's modulus (3 - 28 kPa). These biofoams are also environmental friendly alternatives and can aggregate revenue to biodiesel industry, contributing for reduction of this fuel prices.

Coefficient Of Thermal Conductivity

the paper shows the possibility of producing a thermal insulating composite based on basalt fibers and sapo-nite-containing mining waste. A method for manufacturing thermal insulating composites from hydro-mass with different contents of the mixture components is proposed. Basalt fibers were used as a filler, and pre-mechanoactivated saponite-containing material (SCM) was used as a binder. It was found experimentally that depending on the composition of composites, the coefficient of thermal conductivity varies from 0.1109 to 0.1342 W/(m•K), and the compressive strength – from 0.45 to 0.93 MPa. In addition, it was found that thermal modification of composites at temperatures up to 1200°C significantly (up to 3 times) increases the compressive strength of composites, while not affecting the coefficient of thermal conductivity. The ex-periments to determine the conductivity of the composite “basalt fiber – SСM” depending on its moisture content showed that the obtained composite is characterized by intense and linear increase in the values of conductivity when the humidity of the sample to 12% and further increase in humidity practically does not change the values of the coefficient of thermal conductivity. Comparison of the studied thermal insulation composite with known structural thermal insulation materials in terms of its thermal insulation and strength characteristics showed that it is comparable to gas and foam blocks. It should also be noted that this material is environmentally safe and can withstand high temperatures without collapsing.

Sorel cements is a promising building material for insulation applications. Indeed, the effect of polyvinyl acetate polymer on cements has been investigated. The polyvinyl acetate polymer was added to the cement matrix with a percentage of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% by weight of Sorel cement. The thermal properties of Sorel cement were determined by photothermal deflection technique. Thermal properties such as thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity are measured by coincidentally the experimental curves of the photothermal signal with the best corresponding theoretical curves. The results revealed that the incorporation of polyvinyl acetate polymer enhance the thermal insulation and reduce the compressive strength of Sorel cement.
