It protects people and
environment and save energy.
due to its high temperature
stability and remarkable
insulation effect
Rock Wool’s role
insulation effect
Despite its HT stability, it
cannot sustain a temperature
above 1000 ºCT ~ 1000 ºC
So we did something to increase the HT stability!

Increasing the drawing stress enhances the structural anisotropy, and hence, the strength of glass fibers!

Rheology is important for geology and industry!
HawaiiRockwool process
Rockwool projects: Viscous behaviour, relaxation, glass forming ability and fiber spininability; Quantification of melt homogeneity….
A new model has been established, which is superior to any existing ones containing 3 parameters in terms of both the accuracy of describing the viscosity-temperature relation of glass-forming liquids and the physical meaning.

Formation of the mesoporous TiO2 using yeast as template
Remarkable photocatalytic performances of the derived TiO2!
W. He et al. J. Colloid and Interface Sci. (2010)
Nanoporous membranes for gas separation: A silica nanosol is prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate
(TEOS) in aqueous ethanol.
Silica membranes with pores smaller than 5 Å are obtained by coating this nanosol
on top of asymmetric supports.
These membranes can be used, for
instance, to recover pure H2 from gaseous mixtures.
Ultrathin nanoporous films for microfluidic devices:
gaseous mixtures.
1-2 nm large pores can be obtained by adding to the silica sol an organic template, which is removed during
calcination.
Microfluidic devices were fabricated
by depositing a layer of this material on microsieves with ∼ 1 µm large perforations.
