Novel Semi-Rigid Capsule Insulation Demonstration (CRADA CRD-18-00769 Final Report)
This effort probed the novel use of capsule insulation to form an effective “solid” (as compared to powder) insulating “blanket,” “panel,” or other useful structures and to demonstrate important technical achievements, including crosslinking, thermal conductivity measurements, and achieving appropriate thermal and other properties needed to form high quality insulation that can directly and cost effectively address such markets as cryogenics and highly insulating panels.
