“…This can be related to a less porous microstructure that better conducts the heat-flux [105], increasing the thermal conductivity. This behaviour was also verified for other types of mortars by Badache et al [106] and is something to consider when designing new formulations.…”

“…The higher loadings were associated with λ, BD, and mechanical properties. This was a behaviour already expected and known [68,106]. An increment in any of these variables leads to an increase in the other variables included in the same PC, probably being associated with the mortars' compacity and microstructural porosity [43], influencing their behaviour.…”

Nanomaterials’ Influence on the Performance of Thermal Insulating Mortars—A Statistical Analysis

This research provides a statistical analysis of the mechanical and physical properties of thermal insulating mortars developed in the laboratory and by the industry with and without the incorporation of nanomaterials. This was evaluated by carrying out a uni and bivariate analysis, principal components and factor analysis, cluster analysis, and the application of regression models. The results show that it is possible to find associations between these mortars’ properties, but also how these formulations’ development can be approached in the future to achieve better overall performance. They also show that the use of nanomaterials, namely silica aerogel, significantly improved the mortars’ thermal insulation capabilities, allowing us to obtain mortar formulations with thermal conductivities below the values presented by classic thermal insulating materials. Therefore, with this investigation, other researchers can support their product-development choices when incorporating nanomaterials to reduce mortars’ thermal conductivities, increasing their production efficiency, overall multifunctionality, and sustainability.

“…In the BTES system there are from one to even several hundred heat exchangers, spaced radially from the centre of the system to its edges. The holes are most often spaced about 2-5 m from each other, and their depth varies from a dozen or so to 300 m [5].…”

The increased demand for energy from renewable sources entails the development of storage systems. The purpose of these systems is to supply energy on demand during periods which may not be concurrent with the time of the most efficient production of this energy. Various systems are being developed for storing energy in various forms and over various lengths of time.This paper presents selected projects and the results of studies into thermal energy storage. The results of the present author's own research into the transport of thermal energy in granular beds are also presented. The curves of temperature distribution have been determined; they are essential for the design of the thermal storage of a granular bed. Such curves need to be determined for the given granular bed and for the conditions of its operation

“…Other researchers focused on determining the mechanical properties of these structures after exposure to high temperatures [3]. In other researches, the natural sand was replaced with plastic particles of the same volume [4]. Also these plastics can be reused for decoration of buildings [5].…”

New materials obtained by rubber recycling from industrial waste

et al. 2019

Solid waste management is one of the major environmental concerns nowadays. The present study covers the use of rubber and recycled plastics as replacement aggregates in concrete. Replacing the sand with plastics or rubber the compressive and tensile strength of the concrete decreases.. It was found that the concrete obtained by replacing a proportion not exceeding 9% of aggregates in the concrete recipe by rubber, can be used as a substitute for normal concrete, for instance in the building industry. The use of these materials in concrete comes from the environmental constraints in the safe disposal of the products. Big attention is being focused on the environment and safeguarding of natural resources and recycling of wastes materials.
