Abstract (en)

The operational properties (strength, heat conductivity, hygroscopic sorption, vapor permeability, and frost resistance) of a heat-insulation composite of density 150-350 kg/m3 are investigated. The matrix consists of an aerated concrete substance and a disperse filler of expanded polystyrene crumbs obtained by crushing the household polystyrene package waste. The macro- and microstructure of the composite are considered. It is found that the operational properties of the material directly depend on its density, determined by the amount of the cementing substance in the matrix.
