Thermally insulating lightweight plasters are urgently needed for the development of sustainable energy-saving buildings. The creation of such a material is possible because of the use of lightweight fillers, which are of interest to many researchers. As a result of their porous structure, it is possible to lower the density and thermal conductivity of various materials. The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of hollow glass microspheres in two granulations and expanded glass on the parameters of polymer plaster. Composites containing various amounts of lightweight fillers were prepared. Then, their parameters were compared in terms of the mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, vapor permeability, and water absorption. All three lightweight fillers successfully reduced the density of the polymer mass and improved plaster insulation. The best effect was achieved with both types of hollow glass microspheres. The weight of the polymer binder was reduced by up to 80%. In the case of expanded glass, the density was only reduced by 38%. At the same time, the composites were studied in terms of their mechanical and moisture properties. The specimens with the highest amount of lightweight filler showed significant deterioration in elasticity due to disturbance of the pigment:binder ratio. They cracked at lower deflection angles. By not exceeding 20% of the filler, no effect on flexibility was observed in any of the three investigated fillers. Interpretation of the research results indicates that the studied lightweight fillers allow a plaster mass to be obtained with an extremely low thermal conductivity coefficient, less than 0.086 W/mK. However, while ensuring the optimal proportion between fillers and polymer binder, it is possible to reduce the coefficient to 0.261 W/mK without noticeable deterioration of the mechanical properties.

Lightweight fillers are used in dry-mixed building mortars in order to improve thermal insulation properties, yield, and workability. In the case of thin layer products, used as a finishing layer, reduced thermal conductivity coefficient enables to restrain of water vapor condensation on walls - which inhibits mold growth. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of 4 types of lightweight fillers on the performance of cement-based skim coat - with emphasis on the economic aspect. Formulas reflecting typical commercial products were used. The dosage of different components - such as expanded perlite, glass and polymeric bubbles or expanded glass - was optimized for sufficient yield and workability, keeping the constant price of 1 kg of the final product. Mechanical parameters, capillary absorption coefficient, and thermal conductivity coefficient were determined. Observations by Scanning Electron Microscope revealed poor incorporation of polymer microspheres in the cement matrix, leading to loss of mechanical strength. With the addition of expanded glass, an increase of flexural and compressive strength thanks to the pozzolanic reaction was observed. Glass bubbles were found the most effective additive.

Stosowanie lekkich wypełniaczy w suchym mieszankach chemii budowlanej pozwala na poprawę termoizolacyjności, wydajności oraz właściwości roboczych zapraw. W przypadku cienkowarstwowych wyrobów wykończeniowych obniżony współczynnik przewodzenia ciepła hamuje kondensację pary wodnej na ścianach wewnętrznych, redukując powstawanie pleśni. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było określenie wpływu czterech rodzajów lekkich wypełniaczy na właściwości gładzi cementowej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem aspektu ekonomicznego. Sporządzono receptury odzwierciedlające skład typowych komercyjnych produktów. Dozowanie poszczególnych dodatków: perlitu ekspandowanego, kulek szklanych i polimerowych oraz spienionego szkła, zoptymalizowano pod kątem odpowiedniej wydajności oraz konsystencji, zachowując przy tym stałą cenę 1 kg ostatecznego wyrobu. Dokonano pomiarów właściwości mechanicznych, absorpcji kapilarnej oraz współczynnika przewodzenia ciepła. Obserwacje pod skaningowym mikroskopem elektronowym pozwoliły wykazać niską przyczepność mikrosfer polimerowych do matrycy cementowej prowadzącą do pogorszenia wytrzymałości. Przy dodatku granulowanego spienionego szkła zaobserwowano wzrost wytrzymałości na zginanie i ściskanie na skutek reakcji pucolanowej. Za najkorzystniejszy uznano dodatek kulek szklanych.

In this work, lightweight granules of zeolite Na-P1 based on expanded glass aggregates were synthesized for the application in oil products’ sorption. The sorption of gasoline, diesel and silicone oil tests were also conducted for raw expanded glass, zeolite A, clinoptilolite and mineral sorbent available at a fuel station. All sorbents were also characterized in terms of the phase composition (X-ray diffraction) and structure (infrared spectroscopy). The zeolite Na-P1 granules achieved the highest values of sorption capacities (1.8, 2.1 and 2.6 g/g, respectively), which makes them promising materials for oils’ removal.

Recently, aluminum matrix syntactic foams (AMSFs) have become notably attractive for many different industrial areas like automotive, aerospace, construction and defense. Owing to their low density, good compression response and perfect energy absorption capacity, these advanced composite materials are also considered as strong alternatives to traditional particle reinforced composites and metal foams. This paper presents a promising probability of AMSF fabrication by means of industrial cold chamber die casting method. In this investigation, contrary to other literature studies restricted in laboratory scale, fully equipped custom-build cold chamber die casting machine was used first time and all fabrication steps were designed just as carried out in the real industrial high pressure casting applications. Main casting parameters (casting temperature, injection pressure, piston speed, filler pre-temperature and piston waiting time) were optimized in order to obtain flawless AMSF samples. The density alterations of the syntactic foams were analyzed depending upon increasing process values of injection pressure, piston speed and piston waiting time. In addition, macroscopic and microscopic investigations were performed to comprehend physical properties of fabricated foams. All these efforts showed almost perfect infiltration between filler particles at the optimized injection parameters.

Expanded glass has been in use for a wide variety of products as in dry mortar products, panels, lightweight concrete and fills. The following approach investigates the applicability of expanded glass produced by the company Dennert Poraver in an aluminate cement matrix for insulation monolithic refractories according to EN ISO 1927-1:2012. To examine the capability, the material was fired to certain temperatures. Mechanical properties were tested on standard beams before and after the heating. The chemical composition and mineral phases of the system were determined by XRF and XRD. To estimate the properties as insulating material, the thermal conductivity of the materials was investigated. Finally, the behaviour of the material during the heating process was monitored by heating microscopy.
