... great cracking and collapse resistance, thereby resulting in excellent compressive performance. (b) By reducing the thickness of the short edges of the BCHB models, they exhibited great compressive and thermal insulation performance, making these the preferred BCHBs. (c) The BCHB...

... approach is proposed by introducing aerogel-like silica as a packaging material for thermal insulation. The block aerogel-like silica package is prepared by hydrophobic silica aerogel and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) at ambient drying pressure. The experimental results show that the integrity and properties...
