“…Insulation materials are extensively used to reduce heat losses (or gains) from thermal systems in buildings. [ 165 ] The ideal thermally insulating materials should possess a complex combination of properties such as low thermal energy absorbance/emissivity, low mass density, and good mechanical strength. Furthermore, they should be sustainable, renewable, degradable, and cost‐effective.…”

“…[ 166,167 ] Various types of thermally insulating materials such as mineral wool, extruded and expanded polystyrene, polyurethane, and natural fibrous insulators (hemp and wood fibers) are commonly used in buildings. [ 165,166 ] Table 4 demonstrates the required properties of thermal insulators and provides a comparison between existing and recently developed thermally insulating materials. All existing thermal insulators have certain disadvantages such as excessive dependency on fossil fuels and high energy consumption in production (mineral wool).…”

“…In the first approach, which is referred to as "physical", a suitable solvent is added to the polymer and then force is applied to ensure dispersion. Following this, the application of the coating to the wood surface can be done by three ways, namely dipping, brushing, or spraying [55,71]. The second way, namely in situ addition, which is referred to as the "chemical approach", involves compound addition directly to monomers and subsequent polymerization.…”

“…The OTS treatment improved the surface roughness of the glass fibers, which led to a better interfacial bonding with the polymer matrix. According to the available literature, [21][22][23][24] the thickness of the OTS tail and head are 20.66 and 5.89 A o , respectively. The optical microscopy analysis also confirmed the deposition of OTS monolayers on the glass fibers, as shown in Figure 3, where the deposition of monolayers on the ARG surface is clearly visible from Figure 3(b).…”
