The present invention relates to a process for producing silica-based thermal insulation moulded body comprising at least 50% by weight of synthetic amorphous silica and not more than 50% by weight of natural silica with a specified particle size, thermal insulation moulded body obtainable by this process and the use thereof for thermal and/or acoustic insulation.

In the present invention, a multi-stage foam sound-absorbing black body material is provided for the first time. A graphene aerogel is introduced into a commercialized polymer foam skeleton by using a solvent plasticizing and foaming technology, so as to embed ultra-thin graphene drums in the foam skeleton. When sound waves enter the foam black body, a large number of graphene drums generate a severe resonance effect, thereby rapidly achieving attenuation of the sound waves, and combined with the friction loss of the porous structure of the polymer foam on the sound waves, excellent sound-absorbing performance is achieved in a wide frequency range. The present solution is provided on the basis of commercialized foam materials, has a simple method, low costs, and the potential of wide industrial application.

The method is for use with a substrate having a plurality of parallel channels extending therethrough. In the method, the steps comprise: filling a selected plurality of the channels with a granular material; and consolidating the granular material through heat. The selected plurality of channels is selected to produce a wall that separates the substrate into: a first portion having a first plurality of the parallel channels extending therethrough; and a second portion having a second plurality of the parallel channels extending therethrough.

An erosion resistant composition includes a granular material and a wax including oil in which a weight percent of the oil in the wax is between 0.01-15%. The granular material includes a sand and has a first resistance to flow prior to being coated with the wax. The wax at least partially coats a portion of the granular material to form the erosion resistant composition which has a second resistance to flow after coating that is greater than the first resistance to flow prior to coating. The erosion resistant composition may be used, for example, in golf course bunkers or other landscaping applications. Related methods of making the erosion resistant composition are also described in which the granular material is dried, the wax is heated, and the granular material is blended with the melted wax.
