Novel micro- and nano porous thermal insulation material

在这个项目中，我们将开发具有微孔和纳米孔混合的新型聚氨酯材料。预计这些结构将具有优异的隔热性能，还可以为“热”(限制太阳辐射)或“冷”应用(例如低温)量身定做和优化。该技术将是一种高度可开发的解决方案，允许以经济的方式制造具有优异隔热性能、良好耐火性和良好可持续发展轮廓的新隔热产品。这些产品和技术计划在英国(例如，用于绝缘的回收航运集装箱)、欧洲和东南亚商业化。

In this project we will develop novel polyurethane materials with hybrid micro- and nanoporosity. These structures are expected to have superior thermal insulation properties, which can be also tailored and optimised for "hot" (to limit solar gain) or "cold" applications (e.g. cryogenic).The technology will be a highly exploitable solution allowing economical manufacturing of new thermal insulation products with excellent thermal insulation properties, good fire resistance and good sustainability profile.The products and technology are planned to be commercialised in the UK (e.g. to insulated recycled shipping containers), in Europe and South East Asia.
