MLI(Multi-layer Insulation) is widely used to get highly insulating on cryogenic system in order to reduce heat loads. MLI for satellites thermal performance is changed by materials and laminated method. In this study, a composite multilayer insulation by application of heat stroage tank performance were compared with materials and laminated to change the way. Experimental methods of the KS C 9805 was used, the composite multilayer insulation and EPS was compared with the insulation performance. A method for analysis of experimental results is the equivalent thickness about CMI and the insulation performance were used to compare thermal conductance. As a results, the equivalnet thickenss and the thermal conductance of the composite multilayer insulation were smaller than the EPS and the thermal performance are more excellent. In addition, the configuration of the composite multilayer insulation materials and laminated method varies depending on the overall heat transfer coefficient was confirmed.

As interest in the eco-friendly ships and lightweight equipment is increasing in the shipbuilding and marine industry, composite materials are applied to equipment such as pipes. In this study, a basalt fiber reinforced furan composite (BFC), an eco-friendly material, was manufactured to apply the pipe insulation cover that requires environment-friendly and heat/flame retardant performance. An optimization study of post-curing conditions of BFC was conducted, and experiments and analysis were performed on mechanical strength, heat/flame retardant properties, and affinity properties. Finally, as a result of the study BFC material is proved to be a good candidate to apply pipe insulation cover.

Fires in buildings built using sandwich panels are difficult to extinguish, and the damage caused by the fire spreading through the inner core material is extensive. Sandwich panels consist of a nonflammable material on both sides of an insulation material. The types of insulation material include organic and inorganic insulation materials, but the former are used in more than 80% of the case. Organic insulation is economically advantageous compared to inorganic insulation, but it is vulnerable to fire. Therefore, the damage caused by sandwich panel fires is higher than that for general fires. In the case of the noxious gas analyzer test, the panel is tested with three round holes having a diameter of 25 mm, in order to determine the risk of the core material, but the cone calorimeter test is carried out using a sandwich panel. In this study, the cone calorimeter test was conducted to examine the fire risk of the composite material when heated on a nonflammable surface, exposed to the core material through a hole, and heated directly the core material. The type of organic insulation employed was flame retardant EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), and the test specimens were tested in three types of sandwich panel, a perforated sandwich panel and single core material. The purpose of this study is to propose a method of measuring the fire risk of the core materials of composite materials using the cone calorimeter test.

Thermal conductivity of ceramic fibrous insulator was analysed and predicted by using the modeling/simulation technique. Ceramic fibrous insulators are widely used as high temperature insulator on account of their lightweight mass and heat resisting properties. Especially it is suitable to protect the high speed aircraft and missiles from severe aero-thermodynamic heating. Thermal conductivity of ceramic fibrous insulator could be determined from the conductive heat transfer and the radiative heat transfer through the insulator. In order to estimate conductive thermal conductivity, homogenization technique was applied, while radiative thermal conductivity was computed by means of random number and radiation probability. Particularly radiation probability can make it possible to estimate the conductivity of fibrous insulator without any experimental constant. The calculated conductivity predicted in the present study have a reasonable accuracy with an average error of 7 percent to experimental data.

As part of recent low-energy policies, thermal insulation standards for buildings are being tightened every year. In addition, the conventional styrofoam insulating material has a problem that the thickness of the heat insulating material to achieve a standard heat permeability is rapidly increased. Due to the thick insulation, there is a high risk of spreading vulnerable structures such as fire due to lack of space between buildings. On the other hand, the method of using the insulation as a formwork is known to be excellent cost saving effect through the reduction of the formwork usage and the simplification of the external insulation work. In order to solve this problem, this study aims to fabricate a multi-layered insulator that combines high-performance phenolic foam insulation and styrofoam insulation and evaluate the deflection characteristics for use as formwork.

To develop environmental-friendly insulating composite materials, natural cellulose and porous ceramic balls were used as core materials and activated Hwangtoh was used as a binder. Various specimens were prepared with different water/binder ratios and core material/binder ratios. The physical properties of these specimens were then investigated through compressive strengths, flexural strengths, absorption test, hot water resistance test, pore analysis, thermal conductivity, and observation of micro-structures using scanning electron microscope. Results showed that the maximum compressive strength varied appreciably with the water/binder ratios and core material/binder ratios, but the flexural strength increased with the core material/binder ratios regardless of water/binder ratios. The compressive strength and the flexural strength measured after the hot water resistance test decreased remarkably compared to those measured before test. The pore analysis measured after the hot water resistance test showed that total pore volume, porosity and average pore diameter decreased, while bulk density increased by the acceleration of hydration reaction of binder in the hot water. The thermal conductivity decreased gradually with an increase of core material/binder ratios. It can be evaluated that the composite insulation materials having good insulating properties and mechanical strengths can be used in the field.

The surface of the tunnel lining issues various problems such as cracks due to the cold weather. It is necessary to reduce the recovery costs by means of developing new recovery techniques. However, the research on reducing the damage of road tunnel lining caused by cold weather has not actively been conducted. Hence, this paper analyzes the effectiveness of using insulating materials such as aerogel and heat insulating liquid in enhancing insulating capability. The results show that these materials are effective in reducing heat transfer, confirming damage reduction in cold weather.

For the development of the environment-friendly insulating composite materials, natural cellulose (wood chip and sawdust) was used as a core material and activated Hwangtoh was used as a binder. Various specimens were prepared with the water/binder ratio and natural cellulose/binder ratio. The physical properties of these specimens were then investigated through compressive and flexural strength test, absorption test, hot water resistance test, thermal conductivity, measurement of pore distribution and observation of micro-structures using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results showed that the absorption ratio increased with the increase of natural cellulose/binder ratio but decreased remarkably with the increase of polymer/binder ratio. The compressive and flexural strength development varied appreciably with the increase of water/binder ratio and natural cellulose/binder ratio. On the other hand, thermal conductivity decreased with the increase of natural cellulose/binder ratio and polymer/binder ratio. Through SEM, it was found that activated Hwangtoh that reacted with water formed a hydrate crystal leading to the compact structure and the total pore volume of the specimen using activated Hwangtoh was smaller than that of the non-activated Hwangtoh.

We developed nano-porous $TiO_2-SiO_2$ composites (commercial name : PTI, porous titania insulator) with low thermal conductivity as thermal insulating material as well as function of photocatalyst. The objectives of this paper are, firstly, to evaluate of the thermal conductivity of the PTI powder in the temperature range from -160 to $250^{\circ}C$, secondly to evaluate of thermal conductivities of insulation materials that is applied PTI powder. The structure of the PTI powder that has the pores size of 20-30 nm and the particle diameter of 2-10 nm. The PTI had a high surface area of $400m^2/g$ and a mean pore size of $45{\AA}$, which was fairly uniform. The thermal conductivity was measured by GHP(guarded hot plate) method and HFM(heat flux method). The PTI structure is a three-dimensional network nano-structures composed by a pearl-necklace that involved a precious stone in the center of the necklace. The thermal conductivities of PTI-PX powder by the GHP and HFM were 0.0366 W/m.K, 0.0314 W/m.K at $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. This is similar to values that are proportional to the square of the absolute temperature of the thermal conductivity of static air. The thermal conductivities of insulating sheets coated with PTI powder were similar results with that of the PTI powder.

일반 항공기 및 상용 복합 구조재의 경우에는 내부에 결함이 생길 경우 유지 및 보수가 용이하나 복합재 압력 용기의 경우에는 다양한 환경 변화를 겪게 되며 또한 유지 및 보수가 힘들다는 제약 조건이 있으므로 단열재로 사용되는 인슈레이션 고무와 FRP간의 접착, 가황 고무와 미가황 고무 사이의 접착 등 여러 가지 이종 재질들 간의 접착이 매우 중요한 변수가 될 뿐만 아니라 압력 용기의 전체적인 성능에도 상당한 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 시스템들은 제작 조건에 따라 결함이 발생하는 빈도가 차이가 나며 특히 가혹한 환경 조건하에서도 내구성을 보여야 하므로 본 실험에서는 다양한 환경 조건, 성형 조건을 가지는 FRP/고무, 고무/고무 접착 시스템의 계면 접착력을 측정한 후 이로부터 환경 노화에 저항성이 강한 최적의 접착제 및 접착 조건 등을 확립하고자 하였다.
