Dry density and compression strength of foam concrete are conflicting, there is a negative relationship between them. Hollow glass microsphere is a new lightweight material which is lightweight, high strength, low thermal conductivity and good thermal stability. In order to prepare lightweight and high-strength foam concrete, this paper researched the effects of different dosage on dry density and compressive strength of foam concrete through adding hollow glass microspheres. The results show that the thermal conductivity of foam concrete increased as the hollow glass microsphere increases, and the dry densities of foam concrete are between 120-200 kg•m-3, compressive strength reaches 0.1MPa.

The addition of hollow glass spheres is interesting to reduce the thermal conductivity of the concrete pieces. This work aims to evaluate the concrete with addition of hollow glass microsphere with different combinations of dosage in concrete concerning strength and workability. Slump tests were performed in each dosage of concrete in order to evaluate the effect of glass microspheres in concrete mix. In each age of curing concrete, bodies-specimens underwent ultrasound to estimate the homogeneity of concrete with hollow glass microspheres, and testing of compressive strength. The analysis of the results shows that for some formulations, the addition of hollow glass microspheres imparts high mechanical strength to compressive strength above 30MPa at all analyzed cure periods. The workability of the concrete had to be substantially reduced, showing no workability improvement due to the addition of hollow glass microsphere.

The high performance coal gangue foam concrete with the dry density less than 440kg/m3, the thermal conductivity less than 0.085W/(m•K) and the compressive strength over 2.0 MPa was prepared. The microstructure of the coal gangue foam concrete was analyzed by SEM. The hydrates of the coal gangue foam concrete were detected by XRD, and the temperature stability of the coal gangue foam concrete was analyzed by DTA and DSC.

Foam concrete as an inorganic building insulation materials, light weight, good thermal insulation and excellent fire performance characteristics, it is the new building materials with low flammability that is good for environmental protection, energy and money saving. This paper establishes the quantitative relationship between the foam concrete’s 3d, 7d and 28d compressive strength and ash calcium dosage through the comparative experiment and analysis. Reveales the law ash calcium on compressive strength, thermal conductivity and dry density of the foam concrete.

In this study, a new class of thermal insulation composites was prepared by blending a modified hollow glass microsphere (HGM) with furan resin. The particle dispersion between the microparticles and resin matrix was improved using 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy silane (KH-570). Furthermore, the structure and morphology of the modified HGM were characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the effects of the modified HGM on the thermal insulation, flame retardancy, and thermal properties of the composites were investigated. The thermal conductivity of the composites was lower than that of the native furan resin. The minimum thermal conductivity of the composites was 0.0274 W/m·K; the flame retardancy of the composites improved, and the limiting oxygen index become a maximum of 31.6%, reaching the refractory material level. Furthermore, the thermal analysis of the composites demonstrated enhanced thermal stability. This study demonstrates that the composite material exhibited good thermal insulation performance and flame retardancy and that it can be applied in the field of thermal insulation.

A novel epoxy resin (EP)/hollow glass microsphere modified (g-HGM) composite was successfully prepared. Studies showed that the water absorption rate of the g-HGMs/EP composite is lower than pure HGMs/EP and HGMs-KH550/EP composites, while the compressive strength of g-HGMs/EP composites could be increased. The enhanced interfacial adhesion between EP and g-HGMs played an important role to improve the compatibility of the two components. The g-HGMs show little effect on density (relative to HGMs) on the g-HGMs/EP composites, which can perform better than the HGMs/EP composites being used in marine environments. It was found that the optimal content of 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate in the epoxy component was 20 wt%.
