Abstract:The thermal conductivities and the strengths of fumed silica-based thermal insulations prepared by the dry process and the resin infiltration method have been studied. Infiltration of the insulation samples prepared by dry processing of mixtures, consisting of fumed silica, ceramic fiber and a SiC opacifier, was performed to strengthen their binding structure. The high temperature thermal conductivities for the insulation samples obtained by the resin infiltration method were similar to those for the samples p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
