The change of the thermal properties of exothermic and insulating materials with the mixing condition of raw materials which is the most important factor for exothermic & insulating materials was investigated by using the evaluation system of the thermal properties of exothermic and insulating materials. In this study, the effect of the thermal properties of the exothermic & insulating materials such as exothermic properties, endothermic properties, insulating properties, maximum temperature of molten metal, ignition time of exothermic & insulating materials and temperature recovery time on the mixing ratio of reductant and oxidant, types of reductant, and particle sizes of reductants was examined. It could be expected to design the mixing condition of raw materials for various exothermic and insulating materials.

An evaluation system of the thermal properties of exothermic & insulating materials was developed. By measuring the power supply of the induction furnace, the thermal property of exothermic & insulating materials could be evaluated with high reproducibility at elevated temperature of molten steel. The thermal properties of exothermic & insulating materials were affected by mixing condition of raw materials. The effect of main components of exothermic & insulating materials such as metallic aluminum and $Fe_2O_3$ powder on the exothermic and insulating properties was examined. It could be expected to design and develop various exothermic & insulating materials by means of the evaluation system of the thermal properties.

This study was designed to investigate fire characteristics of the plastics insulating materials such as a polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, and polyethylene foam, which is used an insulating materials i3t workplace. The fire characteristics of plastic insulating materials were carried out from the Cone Calorimeter test according to ISO 5660. The experimental materials used were commercial plastic insulating materials by products and their composition is not disclosed by the manufacturer. As the results of this study; the heat release rate of plastic insulating materials was increased with increasing density and heat flux. The peak heat release rate and the average heat release rate for the polyethylene foam in insulating materials were showed the highest, and the peak heat release rate for the polyethylene foam was the highest. The standard of heat release rate with a kind of products and heat flux of irradiance to prevent fire by plastic insulating materials was suggested.

The term 'thermal insulating materials' describes a class of materials which can improve the thermal efficiency by reducing the thermal conduction, convention and radiation between the inside and outside of the system. As a thermal insulating material, numerous industrial applications are possible including the automobile, aerospace, aviation, and petrochemical. Especially, the silica aerogel, with their superior thermal insulating behavior, has been widely used as thermal insulating materials. Because the mechanical properties of the silica aerogel cannot meet the industrial demand, use of the silica aerogel is limited. This article aims to review the thermal insulating materials and silica aerogel, and to introduce the silica aerogel/polymer composites.

In this study, we studied the physical properties and application of PF foam as heat insulating materials. In the experimental results, the density of PF foam showed $0.030g/cm^3$ and the thermal conductivity showed $0.026kcal/m.h.^{\circ}C$. Also, thermal resistance of the prepared PF foam was volatilized about 71.7 wt% when the temperature was $500^{\circ}C$ (1 h). And the chemical structure of PF foam have a closed cell type in the important properties as heat insulating materials. Therefore, it was confirmed that the prepared PF foam had excellent performance as heat insulating materials.

In establishing silent environment such as automobile and industrial instrument, the roles of the insulating materials are critical. The proper and effective positioning of insulating materials is essential in the field of noise as well as in designing silent automobile. In this paper, we proposed the systematic and efficient scheme for optimizing complete automotive interiors for noise control. In order to attain this purpose, following analysis has been carried out: First, measuring the Biot parameters of insulating materials and the transmission loss with reflecting the appropriate arrangement of insulating materials has been experimented. In addition, we made comparison among transmission loss by the tools of analysis and verification, experimental value under consideration of various situations of automobile and analysis by the SEA.

Mineral insulating oils are an important insulating materials in oil-filled transformer. However, the mineral oil is the cause of the environmental problem. The vegetable oils are substitutes for mineral oil because of its biodegradability characteristic. As large size and high rating of the transformer increases, the losses increase at a faster rate. So insulating oil is forced circulation in the oil-filled transformer by using oil pumps. The flow electrification occurs when insulating oil was forced to be circulated. To check the flow electrification, had conducted experiments varying factors. As a result, the streaming electrification could see the changes according to flow velocity, oil temperature and insulation materials.

The purpose of this study is to enhance heat insulation effect and to decrease fire hazard by attaching aluminum foil to expanded polystyrene, which is mainly used for insulating materials, to have fire retardant. The result of the test confirmed that the insulating materials, expanded polystyrene of $10kg/m^3$ and $14kg/m^3$ of density attached aluminum foil on both sides, showed 12%, 14% of improved heat transfer coefficient respectively compared to existing expanded polystyrene of the same density. Besides, they met all the standards for the testing of heat release and gas hazard. On the other hand, the one made of general expanded polystyrene could not meet the standards of the heat release test and the gas hazard test.
