“…Global warming has become a hot issue since its first proposal in the 1970s. Excessive human activities, such as the use of fossil fuels, are one of the main causes [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Due to the limited energy sources and environmental degradation, energy saving has become compulsory [ 6 ].…”

Glass fiber fabrics/hollow glass microspheres (HGM)–waterborne polyurethane (WPU) textile composites were prepared using glass fiber, WPU, and HGM as skeleton material, binder, and insulation filler, respectively, to study the effect of HGM on the thermal insulation performance of glass fiber fabrics. Scanning electron microscopy, Instron 3367 tensile test instrument, thermal constant analysis, and infrared thermal imaging were used to determine the cross-sectional morphology, mechanical property, thermal conductivity, and thermal insulation property, respectively, of the developed materials. The results show that the addition of HGM mixed in WPU significantly enhanced thermal insulation performance of the textile composite with the reduction of thermal conductivity of 45.2% when the volume ratio of HGM to WPU is 0.8 compared with that of material without HGM. The composite can achieve the thermal insulation effect with a temperature difference of 17.74 °C at the temperature field of 70 °C. Meanwhile, the tensile strength of the composite is improved from 14.16 to 22.14 MPa. With these results, it is confirmed that designing hollow glass microspheres (HGM) is an effective way to develop and enhance the high performance of insulation materials with an obvious lightweight of the bulk density reaching about 50%.

The article is focused on English word combinations and compound adjectives with climate, which have come into use over the last 50 years, reflecting the growing significance of climate change and vigorous discussion of its mitigation in the public discourse. The study combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, with partial involvement of corpus techniques. We identify the most common collocations and compound adjectives with climate in the NOW (News on the Web) corpus of English, discussing the context of their use and semantic categories they fall into. Thus, among novel climate collocations we distinguish such categories as: 1) terminological units that denote the process of climate change as such ("climate emergency", "climate catastrophe"); 2) units that refer to the efforts of climate change mitigation on state and international levels ("climate summit", "climate finance"); 3) units that refer to negative emotional states related to a person’s preoccupation with climate change ("climate grief", "climate doomism"). We particularly address the changing terminological landscape in this area, as powerful and emotionally laden phrases "climate emergency", "climate crisis" and others are replacing the more neutral “climate change". Furthermore, we trace the ways of translation of common units with climate into Ukrainian based on Ukrainian-language web sources and legislative documents. It has been established that a high extent of variability currently exists in the rendition of climate units into Ukrainian. The most common variation is between a calque and permutation ("climate resilience" – "кліматична стійкість" / "стійкість до зміни клімату") or between a calque and explicatory translation ("climate policy" – "кліматична політика" / "політика у сфері зміни клімату"). We point out some cases where explicatory translation and synonymous substitution are more preferable than calquing with regard to accuracy (for example, "climate smart" – "кліматично орієнтований" rather than "кліматично розумний").
