Identification of volatile organic compounds in the early stages of fire from commercial products
… materials (expanded polystyrene, phenolic foams, polyisocyanurate foams, polyurethane foams and wool-based insulation materials) were analysed via X-Ray Fluorescence, Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis and a CHNS elemental analyser to provide a brief overview of their elemental composition and allow …

Greening the Green: An Investigation of Circular Economy in the Life-cycle of Building Thermal Insulation
… and evaluated on a polyurethane (PUR) based polyisocyanurate (PIR) building thermal insulation product. Sensitivity analysis was successfully conducted to identify and assess the sources of uncertainty within the model. Moreover, the simulation results were compared against available …

Natural Kenaf Fiber Reinforced Composites as Engineered Structural Materials
… for structural insulated panels (SIPs). The polyisocyanurate foam cores proved to be poorly matched to the strength and stiffness of the NFRP facesheets, leading to premature core shear or delamination failures in both flexure and compressive testing.;The NFRPs were found to match well with …

Cross-Laminated Timber made of Unmodified and Thermally Modified Yellow-Poplar Lumber
… various insulation options, identifying Polyisocyanurate board (R=72) as an effective single-layer interior insulation. The third objective focused on the correlation between moisture diffusion and moisture-induced strain. Dimensional changes were monitored in 1-layer boards, 3-layer and …

Stimuli-responsive microcapsules for self-protecting and self-healing material systems
… with polymeric shell walls based on photocurable polyisocyanurate, cPPA and polylactide are fabricated. The acid-triggered release of cPPA microcapsules containing an aqueous core with a slower degradation rate is also demonstrated. Excellent control is achieved over the emulsion templates and …
