Abstract This article presents two technological ways of recycling the wastes of the production and application of products made of highly oriented fiberglass bound by the epoxy matrix. The first technology is aimed at shredding the epoxy-based products obtained by pultrusion to create fine and ultrafine powders (up to 2-10 microns) used as fillers in various composites. The second technology offers a way to obtain coarse powders with a particle size of up to 100 microns, used in the composition of heat-insulating materials and fire-retardant intumescent coatings. Proposed is the mechanical grinding of fiberglass to a finely dispersed state with subsequent heating to a temperature of 400 °C in the presence of a foaming coke and liquid glass. This technology allows the full utilization of waste from the production and application of epoxy fiberglass, such as windmill blades and parts of molded products, leading to the creation of an environmentally friendly fire-resistant and heat-insulating material in the form of plates, blocks and other products with operation temperature up to 400C, as well as fire retardant coatings for building materials and structures. By varying the content of the foaming agent and soluble glass in the composition of the intumescent mixture, one can regulate the average density, thermal conductivity and strength of the material within significant limits, achieving characteristics that exceed those of traditional heat-insulating materials. The proposed material based on recycled epoxy fiberglass is inflammable and resistant to unfavorable environmental impacts; it has high biostability and provides heat and mass transfer during the operation in buildings and structures.

The article analyzes the property requirements of small-piece products used in road construction, specially those related to water and frost resistance. It describes the main features of the vibration technologies involved in the manufacture of building materials, in particular, paving slabs. The article presents conclusive results, obtained through scientific research, which allow us to establish the influence of both, the costs of the main components and the parameters of vibration compression, on the properties of the final product. Combining the analysis of classical methods with the results of experimental research, a methodology has been developed for reaching an optimal composition of fine-grained vibropressed concrete modified with active additives. It is shown that the particular strength achieved from the combination of vibroformed fine-grained concrete, whose average density is 2270–2320 kg/m3, with polymer multifunctional modifiers, is mainly due to the use of Portland cement, a modifying additive, and the pressure conditions employed during the experiment..

In order to meet the requirement of sustainable development, building materials are increasingly environmentally friendly. They can be partially or fully bio-based or recycled. This paper looks at the development of fully bio-based composites where agro-resources are valued as bio-based aggregates (hemp) and as binding materials (wheat). In a previous work, a feasibility study simultaneously investigated the processing and ratio of wheat straw required to ensure a gluing effect. In this paper, three kinds of hemp-straw composites are selected and compared with a hemp-polysaccharides composite. The gluing effect is analyzed chemically and via SEM. The developed composites were characterized multi-physically. They showed sufficiently high mechanical properties to be used as insulating materials. Furthermore, they showed good thermal performances with a low thermal conductivity (67.9–69.0 mW/(m · K) at 23 ° C, dry).

Abstract Sustainable thermal insulating materials produced from cellulosic fibers provide a viable alternative to plastic insulation foams. Industrially available, abundant, and inexpensive mechanical pulp fiber and recycled textile fiber provide potential raw materials to produce thermal insulating materials. To improve the fire retardancy of low-density thermal insulating materials produced from recycled cotton denim and mechanical pulp fibers, bio-based fire retardants, such as sulfonated kraft lignin, kraft lignin, and nanoclays, were coated onto sustainable insulating material surfaces to enhance their fire retardancy. Microfibrillated cellulose was used as a bio-based binder in the coating formula to disperse and bond the fire-retardant particles to the underlying thermal insulating materials. The flammability of the coated thermal insulating materials was tested using a single-flame source test and cone calorimetry. The results showed that sulfonated kraft lignin-coated cellulosic thermal insulating materials had a better fire retardancy compared with that for kraft lignin with a coating weight of 0.8 kg/m2. Nanoclay-coated samples had the best fire retardancy and did not ignite under a heat flux of 25 kW/m2, as shown by cone calorimetry and single-flame source tests, respectively. These cost-efficient and bio-based fire retardants have broad applications for improving fire retardancy of sustainable thermal insulating materials.

Study Results

The raw material mixture from the silicon-like technogenic component the ash-removal of thermal power plants and the preparation methods of  waterproof porous heat-insulated materials wide usage for raw mass hot foaming powdered two-stage technology are developed. The development uses the polyfunctional properties of liquid glass  as a) the binder component; c) breeder; c) the speed regulator of the clamping mass hardenin. Its optimized version begins to solidify at its usual temperature from the moment its "reproduction" is soluble glass and forms a paste-shaped cake with a set of properties necessary for the next fragmentation. The proposed formulation allows compositions processing in various ways, with the formation of granular heat-insulating fillers, materials for thermal insulation in complex structures, slab and shell-like types of thermal insulation materials. The task is set, depending on the goals and features of the tasks being solved; it is possible to conduct several different methods at the final stages of their obtaining. Two stages of the recycling process determine the character and behavior of the rare-glass composite systems constituent components during heat treatment, their strong adhesion to most structural materials and the need to solve billets easy removal problem from the molding unit. Study results can be used in the field of building materials production, in particular porous artificial products, in obtaining granular insulating material and light aggregate for concrete industrial and civil construction, in thermal engineering as thermal insulation, etc.

Coefficient Of Thermal Conductivity

In the paper the research results of light-weight masonry mortars with hollow glass microspheres (HGMS) and antifreeze admixtures (AFA) for masonry walling of the efficient small items at the low temperatures are given. One has chosen the antifreeze admixtures for the mortars and their rate has been justified. The main properties of the masonry mortars with HGMS and the antifreeze admixtures have been determined. The standard research methods are used. Main attention was paid to the analysis of strength of the mortar with HGMS and the antifreeze admixtures formed at the positive and negative temperatures. The optimal mixtures for the temperature down to 10 °C were developed. A priority direction of development of construction science currently is energy saving and the improvement of energy efficiency of buildings and structures. A part of the solution to this problem is the development of efficient building materials and fencing structures. The use of multi-layer fencing structures is known to lead to a decrease in the coefficient of their thermal uniformity [. In this regard, the most promising is the development of single-wall exterior fencing structures, which answer the requirements of the standards for thermal protection. However, single-wall fencing structures answering the requirements for thermal protection must have an average density value not greater than 500 kg/m3. The materials from cellular concrete, polystyrene concrete, foam ceramics concrete and others satisfy the aforesaid requirements. The monolith unity of similar structures is provided through the use of mortars on the basis of mineral, mineral-and-polymer and polymer binders [2-. Such mortars with high average density and a high coefficient of thermal conductivity are the bridges of cold in the construction; they do not provide the thermal homogeneity of the fencing structure and reduce its thermal resistance. A solution to this problem is the use of light-weight masonry mortars (warm mortars). Such mortars with traditional light-weight fillers (e.g. expanded perlite and vermiculite mortar sands) have an increased water requirement, and, as a consequence, the extremely low strength value. Recently, hollow glass (HGMS) or ceramics (CMS) microspheres are used as light-weight fillers for masonry mortars [. Thus, in [ the scientific principles of the use of such compositions with HGMS have been developed. The masonry mortar has been obtained with the following properties: average density of dried mortar is 450 kg/m3 with a coefficient of thermal conductivity equal to 0.17 W/m·°C and a compressive strength equal to 3.2 MPa at the age of 28 days, water-retention capacity over 90% and with optimal technological and rheological characteristics [.
