What are Some Examples of Nanotechnology in Building Insulation?
Several innovative products and materials illustrate the application of nanotechnology in building insulation:
Silica Aerogels: These are used in windows, walls, and roofs to provide exceptional thermal insulation without adding significant weight. Nanocellulose Insulation: Derived from plant material, nanocellulose offers a renewable and biodegradable insulation option with excellent thermal properties. PCM-Enhanced Insulation: Insulation materials embedded with phase-change materials can absorb and release heat, helping to maintain stable indoor temperatures.
