Ceramic coating has been around for almost 20 years and is highly effective in preventing unnecessary heat loss or gain in residential and commercial structures. Inspired in part by the ceramic tiles ...

Wasted heat energy means wasted dollars. This is why effective heat management is of the upmost importance when manufacturing high-temperature applications. Ultimately, as temperatures and process ...

Shipping container housing has gone so mainstream that USA Today covers it; on seeing the picture of Peter DeMaria's Redondo Beach house I was reminded of a question that I had when I first learned ...

Israeli researchers have begun pilot-scale production of a new high-temperature thermal ceramic insulator that may become a safe and economical substitute for asbestos and other potentially harmful ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Future thermal insulation is lighter, more durable, and capable of withstanding extreme conditions. Researchers at Oxford University have employed a scalable technique to develop ...

A five-element ceramic aerogel compresses by 98% and recovers its shape from cryogenic to 1500 degrees C temperatures, outperforming conventional thermal insulation materials. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of tea will get hot, while the ceramic mug remains cool ...

Chinese scientists say they have developed a porous ceramic material with the high mechanical strength and thermal insulation needed for aerospace applications. The ceramic could even play a key role ...

Morgan Thermal Ceramics has launched a new range of ceramic insulation products, specifically designed to meet the needs of the solar power sector. Building on the company’s globally successful ...
