An aerogel structure body includes a composite layer containing fibrous materials and aerogel, the aerogel being held between the fibrous materials, and an aerogel layer having a first surface on at least one surface of the composite layer and formed of the aerogel, in which the aerogel layer having a second surface opposite to the first surface, the second surface including a projection portion projecting from the second surface, and a density of the aerogel in the projection portion is 0.1% to 3.0% higher than a density of the aerogel in the aerogel layer (flat portion) other than the projection portion. Therefore, the aerogel structure body that is excellent in dimensional stability and heat insulating properties and that can be manufactured with high productivity and a method of manufacturing the same are provided.

The invention is a system and method for building a polar zonohedron structure from precast cement panels. The building system may include a plurality of panels configured to register with each other. Each panel includes a precast cement base with side walls enclosing a cavity within the precast cement base. The panels include at least one ridge protruding from at least one surface of a side wall of the panel and at least one aperture on at least one surface of a side wall of the panel. Each ridge is preferable configured to interlock with each aperture; in his way, the panels interlock with each other to form the polar zonohedron structure.

A layered thermal insulation system generally conformable to three-dimensioned surfaces of heat-producing elements in need of insulation is described. The system comprises: i) an inner high temperature resistant insulation layer; ii) an outer high temperature resistant insulation layer adjacent the inner high temperature resistant insulation layer; and, iii) a first reflection layer and a second reflection layer. Each of said reflection layers is formed of a material selected from a group consisting of metal foils and are provided with a plurality of dimples and/or protrusions. The first reflection layer is adjacent the inner high temperature insulation layer such that, in use, an opposing surface thereof is in close proximity to said surfaces of said element to be insulated. The second reflection layer is adjacent to the outer high temperature insulation layer such that, in use, an opposing surface thereof comprises an exposed surface having a lower temperature than said surfaces of said element.

An aerogel structure body includes a composite layer containing fibrous materials and aerogel, the aerogel being held between the fibrous materials, and an aerogel layer having a first surface on at least one surface of the composite layer and formed of the aerogel, in which the aerogel layer having a second surface opposite to the first surface, the second surface including a projection portion projecting from the second surface, and a density of the aerogel in the projection portion is 0.1% to 3.0% higher than a density of the aerogel in the aerogel layer (flat portion) other than the projection portion. Therefore, the aerogel structure body that is excellent in dimensional stability and heat insulating properties and that can be manufactured with high productivity and a method of manufacturing the same are provided.

This insulating panel for an insulated air-flow casing comprises an inner sheet forming an inner wall, an outer sheet fastened to the inner sheet and forming an outer wall, a layer of insulating material placed between the inner and outer sheets, and a peripheral edge extending transversally between the inner wall and the outer wall. The peripheral edge comprises at least a first and a second rows of perforations, and the perforations of the second row are placed with respect to the first row of perforations in a staggered manner.

Insulation element for thermal and/or acoustic insulation of a flat roof, comprising a first layer made of mineral wool and a second layer made of at least one fabric, whereby the second layer is fixed to a major surface of the first layer by an adhesive, whereby the first layer is made of at least one lamella having a fiber orientation predominantly perpendicular to major surfaces of the second layer, whereby the first layer contains a cured binder whereby the adhesive is arranged partly in an area between fibers close to the major surface of the first layer directed to the second layer and in an area close to the major surface of the second layer directed to the first layer so that the adhesive connects the first layer and the second layer in such a way that forces directed perpendicular to the second layer can be compensated by the tensile strength of the second layer in combination with the adhesive and/or the deflection of the fibers of the first layer causing a maximum deformation of ≤5% of the thickness of the first and second layer.

A thermal runaway barrier for at least significantly slowing down a thermal runaway event within a battery assembly. The thermal runaway barrier includes a layer of a nonwoven fibrous thermal insulation comprising a fiber matrix of inorganic fibers, thermally insulative inorganic particles of irreversibly or permanently expanded expandable inorganic material dispersed within the fiber matrix, and a binder dispersed within the fiber matrix so as to hold together the fiber matrix. An optional organic encapsulation layer may also be used to encapsulate the nonwoven fibrous thermal insulation.

Fire-retardant panels that include: a frame with multiple holes that reduce heat conduction through the panel; or a frame that includes two portions separated by a layer of fire-resistant material (e.g., gypsum, calcium silicate, or gypsum board). Some embodiments include skins (e.g., sheet metal) or insulation (e.g., between skin and fire-resistant material, for instance, within the frame). In particular embodiments, the fire-resistant material is (e.g., midway) between: two skins, two layers of insulation, two portions of the frame, or a combination thereof. The portions of the frame can be: sheet metal, attached (e.g., screwed) to the skin(s) or to each other, or extend around the perimeter. The frame can include: various elongated members, (e.g., parallel) bends, or holes that are: in at least one row, elongated, or slots (e.g., parallel to each other or to the skin).
