Reflective topcoat and thermal insulation mid-coat composite coatings system was used in this work. The effect of the content of the hollow glass micro-beads and rutile titanium dioxide on the heat insulation performance and the reflectivity of the coatings were investigated, respectively. The heat insulation performance and the reflectivity of the thermal insulation reflective composite coatings (TIRCCs) were characterized by self-prepared experimental device. The results showed the good heat insulation property, and the insulated temperature reached 12-15°C, and the reflectivity was up to 95%. The anti-corrosion and anti-penetration of the TIRCCs were studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) technique. The results showed that the resistance of the TIRCCs still be maintained at 108Ω·cm2 after 30 days in the 3.5% aqueous solution of sodium chloride. So The TIRCCs can be used on the surface of the steal structure for decreasing the temperature and enhancing anti-corrosion properties.

Roof and wall are known to be responsible for heat entering into a building and should therefore be thermally insulated in order to lessen energy consumption required for air-conditioning. In this study, four soil-based aerated lightweight concrete (ALC) panels each measures 750 mm (length) x 750 mm (breadth) x 70 mm (thick) with different aerial intensity of newspaper membrane encased were produced and tested on their thermal insulation property. For environmental friendly and economy reasons, clayey soil was used in place of sand to produce the ALC panels and they were tested in the Thermal Laboratory for twenty hours. Temperature gradient was computed based on the surface temperature measured during the test. The results obtained indicated that newspaper membrane encased soil-based ALC panels have superior heat insulation performance compared to control panel in terms of temperature gradient. It is found that the temperature gradient increased from 1.92 °C/cm to 2.08 °C/cm or 8.3% higher than control panel with just merely 0.05 g/cm2 of newspaper membrane encased.

Exercising in a tropical climate with constant high temperatures and high humidity increases the risk of heatstroke for active people who frequently train outdoors. For these active persons, a cooling source of water nearby can be essential, and this is usually carried in canteen bottles. However, commercially available water canteen bottles have limited thermal insulation capability to keep the liquid content cooled for the required period. This work proposed an engineering solution to enhance the heat insulation performance of water canteen bottles, using recycled cellulose aerogels made from paper waste for the first time as an insulating layer. Recycled cellulose aerogels wrapped around the water canteen bottle provides excellent thermal insulation performance, while not adding significant weight to the bottle. The temperature of the ice slurry in the canteen bottle was measured periodically over four hours with a mercury thermometer. The effects of the static and dynamic conditions on the temperature rate were also quantified. A 1.5 cm thickness of 1.0 wt.% recycled cellulose aerogel wrapped around the canteen bottle can provide an excellent thermal insulation performance with the lowest rise in temperature, achieving a low final temperature of the ice slurry content of 3.5 °C after 4 h. This result is much better than that provided by available commercial bottles under the same conditions.

Abstract The conventional manufacturing processes of aerogel insulation material is largely relying on the supercritical drying, which suffers from issues of massive energy consumption, high-cost equipment, and prolonged processing time. With the consideration of large market demand of the aerogel insulation material in the next decade, a low-cost and scalable fabrication technique is highly desired. In this paper, a direct ink writing (DIW) method is used to three-dimensionally fabricate the silica aerogel insulation material, followed by room-temperature and ambient pressure drying. Compared to the supercritical drying and freeze-drying, the reported method significantly reduces the fabrication time and costs. The cost-effective DIW technique offers the capability to print complex hollow internal structures, coupled with the porous structure, is found to be beneficial to the thermal insulation property. The addition of fiber to the ink assures the durability of the fabricated product, without sacrificing the thermal insulation performance. The foam ink preparation methods and the printability are demonstrated in this paper, along with the printing of complex three-dimensional geometries. The thermal insulation performance of the printed objects is characterized, and the mechanical properties are also examined. The proposed approach is found to have 56% reduction in the processing time. The printed silica aerogels exhibit a low thermal conductivity of 0.053 W m−1 K−1.

The thermal barrier coating samples of different thickness with alumina coated zirconia and zirconia as coating materials were prepared on the surface of heat resistant alloy steel substrate after activation treatment with NiCoCrAlY as adhesive transition layer by plasma spraying method and spray gun quick spraying process. The bonding strength and thermal insulation property of two kinds of ceramic coating with the same thickness were compared by the test results of bonding strength, high temperature heat insulation and microstructure, and the relationship between the coating thickness and heat insulation effect were investigated. The results indicate that the structure and property of thermal barrier coating using nanoAl2O3coated ZrO2-Y2O3powder are superior to that using single zirconia powder. The thermal insulation property of the thermal barrier coating increased with the increasing of coating thickness, and the advantage is more obvious with temperature increasing.

Ni-Cu-P/nano-Al2O3composite coatings are prepared on mild steel from an alkaline electroless plating bath containing different concentrations of Al2O3nanoparticles. The protective effect of codeposited nanoparticles on the corrosion behaviour of the coatings is studied in 0.5 M H2SO4solution. The electrochemical methods, that is, electrochemical noise (ECN), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and polarization measurements, are used to characterize the corrosion properties of the coatings. The results show that the inclusion of nanosized particles leads to significant improvement of corrosion resistance of the coatings. The highest corrosion resistance is obtained at 20 ppm of nanoparticles concentration in the plating bath. The ECN measurements results are in good agreement with results obtained from two other electrochemical methods after trend removal. The SEM images prove that nano-Al2O3particles were embedded in the Ni-Cu-P matrix and are dispersed uniformly on the coating surface.

Tetraethyl orthosilicate was selected as a matrix of heat insulating materials among three silanes, and an anti-infrared radiation fiber was chosen as a reinforcement for silica aerogel insulation composite. The silica aerogel was combined well and evenly distributed in the anti-infrared radiation fiber. The heat insulation effect was improved with the increase in thickness of the aerogel insulation material, as determined by the self-made aerospace insulation material insulation performance test equipment. The 15 mm and 30 mm thick thermal insulation material heated at 250 °C for 3 h, the temperatures at the cold surface were about 80 °C and 60 °C, respectively, and the temperatures at 150 mm above the cold surface were less than 60 °C and 50 °C, respectively. The silica aerogel composites with various thicknesses showed good thermal insulation stability. The silica insulation composite with a thickness of 15 mm exhibited good heat insulation performance, meets the thermal insulation requirements of general equipment compartments under low-temperature and long-term environmental conditions. The thermal conductivity of prepared silica aerogel composite was 0.0191 W·m−1·k−1 at room temperature and 0.0489 W·m−1·k−1 at 500 °C.

Nickel-based composite coatings reinforced by spherical tungsten carbide were deposited on 42CrMo alloy steel using plasma transfer arc welding (PTAW) process. Their electrochemical corrosion properties in NaCl solution under atmospheric and high pressure were studied by polarization curve, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion and erosion resistance of the coatings were also investigated by salt spray corrosion and erosion corrosion tests. The results show that the self-corrosion potential of the composite coatings increased with the increase of tungsten carbide content, and the Cr element in Ni60 sample formed a stable and compact passivation film. Compared with corrosion at atmospheric pressure, the adsorption and penetration of Cl- on the coating surface enhanced due to the increase of Cl- activity under pressure, thereby to weaken the corrosion resistance. The Samples that passivated in salt spray environment, cannot completely hinder the corrosion of the coating, just only to slow down the corrosion. This study can provide theoretical basis for deep-sea oil drilling and production engineering equipment.

In this paper, effect of moisture absorption on high temperature thermal insulation performance of fiber insulation material is studied. Fiber material is stored in 40°C through a long period of time, then spontaneous moisture absorption of fiber material is measured. According this test result, 20% and 40% moisture absorption content gradient are determined. Pore distribution and high temperature thermal insulation property of samples of 20% and 40% moisture absorption and the dry samples are all tested in this study. The internal pore size distribution of fiber insulation material after moisture absorbing has a certain coarsening. Fiber material after moisture absorbing will make its pore size become large. And oxygen acetylene test results showed that: the larger moisture absorption, the more slowly the initial temperature rises. Fiber material after moisture absorbing will make its low temperature thermal insulation performance reduce, but it has little impact of its high temperature thermal insulation performance.
