TL;DR: In this article, a compendium of pressure-volume-temperature data of polymers is presented, where each sample is fully identified as to origin and molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and treatment immediately before the test.
Abstract: bons, hydrocarbon polymers, ethylene copolymers, styrenics, acrylics, polyacrylonitrile and copolymers, other C-C main chain polymers, polyethers, polyamides, polyesters, main chain aromatics, and polymer blends. Data for approximately 200 polymers are presented. Each sample is fully identified as to origin, molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and treatment immediately before the test. Specific volume under ambient conditions is also given for each polymer. This book is a careful and complete compendium of pressure-volume-temperature data of polymers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a better understanding of the mechanisms controlling heat transfer through foams, which will aid future foam developments and form the basis of a fundamental model for the R value of foam.
Abstract: the development of improved foam insulations has been an evolutionary process. Current research efforts to develop higher R value foams are handicapped by the fact that the mechanisms of heat transfer through foam are not well understood and a basic model is not available. It is the goal of this paper to help develop a better understanding of the mechanisms controlling heat transfer through foams. This will aid future foam developments and form the basis of a fundamental model for the R value of foam. This work also applies to understanding the aging of foams. In a review of the foam literature, Valenzuela [1] showed that published heat transfer models underestimate the effective conductivity of foams, even when upper limits are used for the contribution of solid and gas conduction. Gas convection within the cells was shown to be negligible and hence could not account for the discrepancy. It was hypothesized that thermal radiation accounted for the balance of

TL;DR: In this article, the relative change in insulation property of the ordinary concrete due to adding polymeric based waste material is experimentally investigated, and the results reveal that proper addition of selected waste materials into concrete can significantly reduce heat loss or improve thermal insulation performance.
213 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed description of modelling and measurement of the effective thermal conductivity of porous bulk materials at temperatures up to 80°C and moisture contents below free water saturation is given.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal and acoustical insulation properties of rubberized concrete at high rubber volume fractions were evaluated in terms of density, absorption, compressive strength, impact resistance, ductility and flexural strength.
