Monodisperse Hollow Silica Nanospheres for Nano Insulation Materials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Life Cycle Assessment

This article reported on the synthesis, characterization, life cycle assessment (LCA) of nano insulation materials (NIMs) that are made of hollow silica nanospheres (HSNSs). The transient plane source (TPS) technique was used to determine the thermal properties of the HSNSs. The thermal conductivity of the ...

Nano insulation materials: synthesis and life cycle assessment

Buildings are responsible for a large portion of the world’s energy use, so there is a high global demand for cost-efficient thermal insulating materials. In this paper, the thermal properties of hollow silica nanosphere nano insulation materials (HSNS NIMs) were examined to test their ...

Monodisperse Hollow Silica Nanospheres for Nano Insulation Materials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Life Cycle Assessment

The authors present the synthesis of hollow silica nanospheres (HSNSs) by a template-assisted approach using polystyrene nanospheres as templates. These nanospheres could potentially be used as nano insulation materials due to their low thermal conductivity ~0.02 W/m K. The authors also examined the environmental footprint ...

Thermal Conductivity of Monodisperse Silica Nanospheres

Monodisperse hollow silica nanospheres with an outer diameter of ~300nm were prepared for the comparison of thermal conductivity with similar solid silica nanospheres. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the hollow nanospheres was lower than that of the solid silica nanospheres....

Synthesis of hollow silica nanospheres by sacrificial polystyrene templates for thermal insulation applications

In this paper, researchers synthesized monodispersed polystyrene spheres (PS), of a desired size. Generally, PS have a typical diameter ranging from 180 nm to 900 nm. However, the researchers in this study were able to reduce the sphere size, by increasing the polyvinylpyrolidone/styrene weight ratio. The ...
