Oevelopment of thermal insulation composite material from recycled polymer and recycled glass

摘要

With the sustainable construction the emphasis is placed on saving energy, reducing of consumption of natural resources, extending the life cycle of recycling, etc. One of the important groups of waste materials that can be reused are waste polymers. These materials are used in the design of thermal insulation composite material. The crucial property of materials used for thermal insulation is the coefficient of thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity coefficients of waste polymers however do not meet the requirements. For this reason, waste polymers are within the development of thermal insulation composite material combined with filler with a low coefficient of thermal conductivity. In developing of this composite material the developers combine a method of theoretically optimized software design of blends with their production and experimental verification. Possibility of application of thermal insulation composite material can be seen especially in the structural details, in which it is necessary to eliminate the thermal bridges, but also details where the requirements are applied to the mechanical resistance and static load bearing capacity.
