The ordinary portland cement was used to prepare foamed cement insulation materials by physical foaming method. The influence of different process of fiber added to the foamed cement insulation materials on its performance was studied and the optimum mix ratio of raw materials was determined. The results showed that the glass fire could be evenly dispersed in the slurry by dry adding technology and got better enhanced effect. When the dosage of glass fire was 0.9%, the performance of the foamed cement material as follows: dry density of 318 kg/m3, 3d flexural strength of 0.61MPa, 3d compressive strength of 1.05MPa, thermal conductivity of 0.065W/(m·k).

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.

Foamed concrete (400 kg/m3) was prepared through a physical foaming method using ordinary Portland cement (42.5R), vegetable protein foaming agent, fly ash, and glazed hollow beads (GHB, K46) as raw materials. The performance of cement paste as well as the structure and distribution of air voids was characterized by rheometry, SEM, and XRD analyses with imaging software. The effects of GHBs on the compressive strength and thermal conductivity of the foamed concrete sample were also explored. Results show that the proportion of 50–400 μm air voids, average air-void diameter, 28 d compressive strength, and thermal conductivity of the test sample mixed with 2.4 wt% GHBs are 94.44%, 182.10 μm, 2.39 MPa, and 0.0936 w/(m·k), respectively. Excessive amount of GHBs (>2.4 wt%) increases the amount of air voids with diameter smaller than 50 μm in the hardened foamed concrete as well as the degree of open porosity. Moreover, the proportion of 50–400 μm air voids, average air-void diameter, 28 d compressive strength, and thermal conductivity of the sample mixed with 4.0 wt% GHBs are 88.54%, 140.50 μm, 2.05 MPa, and 0.0907 w/(m·k), respectively.

Ordinary Portland cement is gelling agent. Fly ash was used to replace part of the cement. Light foamed concrete joining physical foaming was produce. The effects of foam dosage on bending strength, compressive strength and coefficient of thermal conductivity of foam concrete were investigated. The results indicate that the increase of the amount of foam can greatly reduce the dry density of foam concrete. When foam dosage is 1.5 L/kg, we can produce light foamed concrete having certain intensity. Its dry density is 424 kg/m3, and heat conduction coefficient is 0.095 W/mk.

In order to reduce the energy efficiency of the construction industry and improve the building safety, in this research, a new type of inorganic insulation material ? vitreous bead insulation mortar is studied and its properties are analyzed. Quantitative method is used to analyze the influence of glass bead mixing amount, cellulose ether mixing amount and redispersible emulsion powder mixing amount on the consistency, water retention rate, dry density, softening coefficient and compressive strength of glass bead insulation mortar. The effect of different raw materials allocation on the thermal conductivity of vitrified microbeads thermal insulation mortar is explored. The results show that the performance of insulation mortar decreases significantly with the increase of glass bubbles. With the increase of cellulose ether content, the consistency and compressive strength of insulation mortar first increased and then decreased, the water retention rate increased significantly, but the dry density decreased significantly. With the increase of the content of redispersible emulsion powder, the consistency and compressive strength of insulation mortar first increased and then decreased, but the dry density decreased gradually. Glass bubbles and fly ash parameters are the main factors that affect the thermal conductivity of thermal insulation mortar, and their thermal conductivity decreases with the increase of the proportion of air-entraining agent. As a result, the performance of vitreous microbeads thermal insulation mortar will change to a certain extent with the different proportion of raw materials, which provides data support for the preparation and application of inorganic external wall thermal insulation materials.

The paper presents an aluminum foam experimental technique using the microwave energy. The raw material was recycling aluminum waste processed by ecological melting and gas atomizing to obtain the fine powder required in the foaming process. The powder mixture was completed with dolomite as a foaming agent. The products had a fine and homogeneous porous structure (pore size between 0.4-0.9 mm). The density (1.17-1.19 g/cm3), the compressive strength (6.83-7.01 MPa) and the thermal conductivity (5.71-5.84 W/m·K) had values almost similar to the foams made by conventional methods.

Natural fibres from flax and hemp are used as raw materials for efficient thermal insulation. In current work, tests were carried out using chopped and combed long flax fibres as well as chopped and combed long hemp fibres. Investigations have shown that thermal conductivity of natural fibres depends on their preparation method (combing, chopping) and materials density.

This work investigated the recycling of fly ash waste and cullet as the raw materials for lightweight bodies produced by heat treatment and using sodium silicate as the binder. Borax was mixed with fly ash and cullet, and put into the block in dimension 10x10x2 cm3. The lightweight materials thus produced were then sintered at temperature of 800 °C. Density, compressive strength and thermal conductivity were determined. Borax showed a positive sintering effect on the porosity of lightweight material during the heat process. The compressive strength of lightweight material diminished with the reduction of density and thermal conductivity. Lightweight material manufactured with borax showed the lower density and thermal conductivity accompanied by the higher compressive strength. The test results indicated that using fly ash and cullet as the raw material with borax could obtain the lightweight material, thus enhancing the possibility of its reuse in a sustainable way.

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.

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.
