Evaluation and Measured Analysis by FTIR of Fiber Insulation Materials Used in Inflatable Mini Cold Storage

Article Preview

Abstract:

Thermal insulation performance is a key factor in evaluation of thermal insulation materials. The chemical structure of polyester fiber, bamboo fiber and polylactic acid fiber was analyzed, and thermal insulation properties of the samples were investigated in terms of the measured transmittance of IR with before and after treated. The results showed that the measured transmittance of IR of corn fiber was lower than polyester fiber and bamboo fiber. In addition, the measured transmittance of bamboo fiber changed obviously, polyester fiber had small changes, polylactic acid fiber almost had no change. Moreover, the measured transmittance had an increasing trend. The heat preservation performance decreased after the samples were treated.
