Amelioration of the Porosity in Silicate Based Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article deals with the application of lightweight concretes for thermal insulation purposes. The main aim is to increase their porosity, which is closely related to the thermal resistance of the substance. By selecting appropriate raw materials, we try to eliminate this imperfection and propose a material that would generate sufficient resistance to heat transfer to allow the reduction of costs associated with the insulated equipment operation, while preserving the heat resistance of such materials. The article outlines the designing of such material, its potential applications, advantages over existing materials, and some basic properties.
