Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec id="pssa201431551-sec-0001" sec-type="section"> <p>We show in this paper that composites of mechanical impedance mismatch nanopowders yield competitive thermal insulation values to aerogels. The powders are connected by a polymer matrix assuring mechanical integrity. A simple calculation for the thermal boundary resistance has been conducted based on established models.</p> </sec> </abstract>
