“…This type of material is attractive for its high mechanical strength, low thermal conductivity, non-combustion (A-grade flame-retardant material), high softening temperature, good thermal and chemical stability, good sound insulation effect, strong corrosion resistance and is insect-proof. Therefore, it is highly attractive to be used in thermal insulation materials, lightweight filling materials, sound-absorbing materials, and lightweight concrete aggregates in fields like construction, water conservancy and transportation [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13].…”
