Description
Summary:One of the urgent tasks is the development of new thermal insulation materials to improve the energy efficiency of construction. In this work, new composites were obtained based on previously unused cellulose-containing waste. The theoretical and experimental substantiation of the possibility of increasing the water resistance of the heat-insulating composite has scientific significance. The features of the supramolecular structure of cellulose are analyzed. As a result of studies of the process of structure formation of a new heat-insulating material, it has been established that to ensure stable heat-insulating properties of composites from cellulose-containing waste, it is advisable to use a phenol-formaldehyde binder, water glass, or alumochromophosphate. The developed composite has a swelling 2.7 ... 3 times less, and water absorption 2.2 ... 2.4 times less than mineral wool slabs. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the new composite material, depending on the type of cellulose-containing filler, ranges from 0.076 to 0.092 W/m∙K, which makes it possible to recommend it for use in thermal protection of buildings.
