Tailor-Making Nano Insulation Materials with Lowered Thermal Conductivity by Utilizing the Knudsen Effect

Jelle B.P., Mofid S.A., Grandcolas M., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), NO

As the world is turning its focus even more towards aspects like energy efficiency and renewable and non-polluting energy harvesting, including the building sector, the quest has been set for developing high-performance thermal insulation materials [...]

Development and Investigation of New Materials and Technologies for Utilization in Zero Emission Buildings

Jelle B.P., Gao T., Ng S., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) / SINTEF Building and Infrastructure, NO

The demand for zero emission buildings (ZEB) and energy-producing buildings is increasing along with the growing focus on material resource abundance and scarcity, energy efficiency, renewable and non-polluting energy sources and carriers, and environmental impact. [...]

High-Performance Nano Insulation Materials for Energy-Efficient Buildings

Jelle B.P., Tilset B.G., Gao T., Grandcolas M., Løvvik O.M., Bohne R.A., Mofid S.A., Ng S., Sagvolden E., Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and, SINTEF Building and Infrastructure, NO

High-performance nano insulation materials (Hi-Per NIM) may be developed by exploiting the Knudsen effect for reduced thermal conductivity and thus make thermal insulation materials with a nanoporous air-filled structure. Hence, these NIMs are supposed to [...]
