Low-temperature thermal insulation materials with high impact resistance made from feather-fibres

Blog Article

Thermal insulation materials typically used in low-temperature applications such as pipelines for transporting liquid natural gas can become brittle and are therefore susceptible to impact damage.New feather-fibre biomaterials developed in Hats this work have extremely low thermal conductivity but retain high impact resistance at low-temperatures.The experiments reported demonstrate the improved impact resistance of feather fibre biomaterials compared to foamed Concealer Brush nitrile rubber.

The microstructural characteristics of feather-fibre biomaterials that allow them to be used as impact resistant thermal insulation at low-temperatures are discussed.
