In this study, properties of cement based mortars produced with vermiculite and silica fume
were investigated at ambient and elevated temperatures. Physical, mechanical, thermal and …

A simple strategy for preparing MgO–Al 2 O 3–CaO-based porous ceramics (MACPC) with
high strength and ultralow thermal conductivity has been proposed in this work based on the …

This work is dealing with the thermo mechanical behaviour of a new composite material
used as thermal insulator and for fire passive protection in building construction. The …

Porous potassium based geopolymers with a mutli-scale porosity were synthesized. Silica
fume is introduced as an additive to the geopolymer formulation. The free silicon contained …

Porous mullite ceramics were prepared from an industrial grade mullite powder by foaming
and starch consolidation. The viscosities of the original suspensions and the foamed ones …

Waste mineral wool represents a huge amount of construction and demolition waste that is
still not adequately returned into the value chain but needs to be landfilled. In the present …

A temperature resistance buoyancy material was fabricated through a tert-butyl alcohol
gelcasting process with borosilicate glass (BG) and hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) as …

For effective cutting tool inserts that absorb thermal shock at varying temperature gradients,
improved thermal conductivity and toughness are required. In addition, parameters such as …

Candidate materials for thermal insulation combine a solid phase of low thermal conductivity
with porosity. Very porous ceramics based on a commercial clay containing 79% kaolinite …

There is a growing interest in researching eco-friendly materials and techniques for
sustainable manufacturing. This study examines the production of different self-foaming …
