Inexpensive Superinsulation for Cryogenic and Highly Insulating Applications

Summary

This U.S. government-sponsored project aimed to tackle global energy demand and environmental issues by developing superior, cost-effective superinsulation materials. The approach involved scaling up the production of novel solid insulating panels and wraps, utilizing microcapsules with a high vacuum volume, for applications like vacuum insulated panels and cryogenic systems. The specific CRADA project has been completed, with NREL demonstrating the core capabilities for creating these advanced materials, though further validation of scaled-up samples is still a goal.
