TY - JOUR AU - Oberhoffer, R AB - New polystyrene (PS) foams with submicron pore sizes and open pore structure are introduced as potential cores for vacuum insulation panels (VIPs). Measurements of the thermal conductivity λ of the air-filled and evacuated PS foams, the influence of temperature T, opacifiers as well as gas pressure p on the thermal conductivity λ are presented. First results of the foam microstructures, as visualized by electron microscopy, confirm that pore sizes below 1 µm can be achieved. Thermal conductivity values of advanced samples in vacuum of about 7 mW/(m·K) were measured.
