Abstract

Vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) are regarded as one of the most promising high performance thermal insulation solutions on the market today. The insulation performance of VIPs mainly depends on the quality of core materials. This paper compared three types of core materials, namely foam insulation material, powder insulation material and fibrous insulation material. Novel structure of core materials which is fiber pore structures packed with different size powder particles is also put forward on this paper. The aim of this paper is to investigate and compare various properties, requirements and possibilities for traditional core materials and put forward possible future core materials of VIPs.
