Comparing Fiber Glass and Cellulose Insulation

چکیده
Whether your pocketbook or the planet is your chief concern, energy efficiency can add up to a lot of savings. Reducing energy demand reduces the amount of fossil fuel combustion needed to heat and cool homes, which in turn decreases the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. In terms of your pocketbook, reducing your energy consumption means lower utility bills. While there are many things you can do to increase your home’s energy efficiency, one of the most inexpensive ways is to install additional insulation. Before Choosing Your Insulation Things to consider when choosing an insulation product include ease of application, thermal performance and value. However, you should also consider the overall lifetime performance of an insulation product as well as its related safety aspects prior to purchase and installation.

Thermal Stability of Modified Insulation Paper Cellulose Based on Molecular Dynamics Simulation
In this paper, polysiloxane is used to modify insulation paper cellulose, and molecular dynamics methods are used to evaluate the glass transition temperature and mechanical properties of the paper before and after the modification. Analysis of the static mechanical performance of the model shows that, with increasing temperature, the elastic modulus of both the modified and unmodified cellulos...
متن کاملComposite Behavior of Insulated Concrete Sandwich Wall Panels Subjected to Wind Pressure and Suction
A full-scale experimental test was conducted to analyze the composite behavior of insulated concrete sandwich wall panels (ICSWPs) subjected to wind pressure and suction. The experimental program was composed of three groups of ICSWP specimens, each with a different type of insulation and number of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear grids. The degree of composite action of each specime...

Nanofiber technology (fiber diameter less than 1 micrometer) is under development for future Army lightweight protective clothing systems. Nanofiber applications for ballistic and chemical/biological protection are being actively investigated, but the thermal properties of nanofibers and their potential protection against cold environments are relatively unknown. Previous studies have shown tha...
متن کاملEnhancing Insulating Performances of Presspaper by Introduction of Nanofibrillated Cellulose
This study explores the possibility of enhancing both mechanical and breakdown properties of insulating presspaper by the introduction of an organic nano additive. Four different concentrations of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) were taken into account: 0.5 wt %, 2.5 wt %, 5 wt %, and 10 wt %. Presspaper containing no NFC was also prepared as a reference. Obtained samples were characterized by ...
