The use of coated micropowders to reduce radiation heat transfer in foam insulation
Polyurethane foam is the most effective insulation currently available for buildings. Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) blowing agents, which have low thermal conductivities, contribute highly to the effectiveness of this insulation. However, CFC blowing agents are being phased out because they are …

Expandable house : for disaster relief and flexible dwelling
… privacy, stability, and living conditions like insulation, heating, and ventilation. Therefore these tents are often replaced by temporary shelters such as trailers, shacks, and prefabricated houses, while the permanent housing is being constructed. However, these temporary structures double the …
