Abstract:
Silica aerogel is a nano-porous material with remarkable insulation properties. Because of this, it can be an ideal alternative to traditional thermal insulating building materials which can promote energy efficiency in buildings. Consequently, it is gaining more interest in the construction industry and now many researchers have carried out investigations on incorporating silica aerogel in cement composite. Currently, most of these studies focused on the thermal conductivity and compressive strength of the cement composite. Therefore, this paper reviews the prior development and current findings of silica aerogel incorporated cement composite in promoting such an energy efficient building material.
