In-Depth Information
vacuum insulation panels and microporous insulation materials are examples of a
variety of products and product combinations. In many cases, these products were
used in prefabricated building components. Also, there exists of course a certain
variety in respect to quality and physical properties of superinsulation materials.
Actually, some specific trends in the development of thermal superinsulation could
be observed: the efforts to synthesise microporous insulation foams, to combine
the insulation properties of microporous insulation materials with other physical
properties, e.g. enhancement of heat capacity, and of course to reduce manufac-
turing costs for superinsulations. Future progress in material science and chemistry
will certainly help to achieve the ambitious goals and therefore make a substantial
contribution for the establishment of a sustainable, well-insulated building stock.
