Development of insulation materials and efforts towards measuring thermal conductivity and achieving flame retardancy and non-combustibility.
~Nanoparticle insulation materials, organic foam insulation materials, and evaluation of insulation performance in housing~ ★How to create fire-resistant and non-combustible insulation materials!?
【Purpose of the Course】 This course will discuss the current state of thermal conductivity measurement techniques for insulation materials, as well as the characteristics and precautions associated with various measurement methods (such as the guarded hot plate method, heat flow meter method, transient hot wire method, cylindrical method, and periodic heating method). Additionally, it will separate the components contributing to thermal conductivity into solid, radiant, and gaseous contributions, and discuss the results regarding the attenuation coefficient of radiation within insulation materials and estimations of internal structures. Furthermore, it will cover high-performance insulation materials using nanoparticles, focusing on the mechanisms that achieve both low thermal conductivity and high strength, as well as practical applications that leverage low thermal conductivity.
