Topic Area Light weight material Description
The concept of light weight materials depends on using less material in 1 unit than the material in its original state. The rest is usually replaces with air bubbles. As the structure is light weight, it is easier to transport. In order to create a light weight material, engineers have observed the nano structure of the materials and have devised methods to induce air bubbles to make it light weight. The density of air at 1 atmosphere is 1 Kg/m3. This can be compared to the bones of humans and birds. Both are strong, but birds have hollow bones which allow them to fly. If we closely examine the molecular structures of the light weight materials around us, we can observe that they are usually fibrous structures filled with pockets of air bubbles. Inter-molecular structure of metals are arranged in a crystal lattice which makes is stronger than fibres. Light weight metals are most often created by their molecular bonds. Light weight materials have a high strength-toweight ratio which makes them durable. Light weight materials can be of three types: 1. Foam 2. Honey comb structures 3. Sandwich structure

NEW MATERIALS LIBRARY

Diagrams Smart Materials Group Light weight material Description
Flupis, or paper pellets is prepared from recycled paper and wheat -starch. When observed under a microscope, paper has a fibrous texture. The wheat-starch functions like glue and holds the structure together. To prepare the paper foam, the raw materials are crushed, ground and made into pellets. Then it is exposed to extreme pressure and heat in an extruder to form the pellets. The material is spongy and can reduce the force felt in an impact.It is bio-degradable and can be easily disposed without any environmental concern.

Smart Materials Group Light weight material Description Wool has many characteristics that resembles a light weight material. Woollen fibres when compressed, has little air pockets in between which trap air. This helps the sheep retain its warmth, allowing it to survive harsh climates. Wool has a high specific heat capacity and is able to absorb and release heat into the atmosphere without increasing its temperature. When wool absorbs moisture it generates heat. This property makes wool a good insulating material. Apart from retaining the warmth it will prevent any damp surface forming on the construction sites. Product/Material Name & Picture Wool

Concrete blocks can withstand compression forces within, but are exposed to tension forces and hence easily buckle. In re-inforced concrete, the steel tubes resist the tension forces in the material, making is a popular choice in modern day construction. As steel is prone to rusting, large concrete blocks are required. With the concrete fabric, the tension can now be carried by the fibres without the need for a large structure, thus eliminating one of the most important challenges of using concrete. However, concrete has a long life cycle which continues to pose a major concern in the debate about sustainibility.

Topic Area Bio-based Materials Description
The term bio-based expresses that the products are made from biological raw materials such as plants and trees that are renewable raw materials. It excludes food, traditional paper and wood products, but also bio-mass as an energy source. Bio-based products can substitute fossil-based products. They are neutral in terms of greenhouse gas and leave a smaller ecological footprint, i.e. generate less waste, use less energy and water. Less consumption of natural resources lowers production cost and is better for the environment.(1) Bio-based materials are often biodegradable, but this is not always the case. Examples include: cellulose fibers-Fibers made from reconstituted cellulose. casein-A phosphoprotein extracted from milk during the process of creating low fat milk, it is processed in various ways to make: plastic, dietary supplements for body builders, glue, cotton candy, protective coatings, paints, and occurs naturally in cheese, giving it a creamy texture. polylactic acid-A polymer produced by industrial fermentation bioplastics-including a soy oil based plastic now being used to make body panels for John Deere tractors engineered wood-products such as oriented strand board and particle board zein-a natural biopolymer which is the most abundant corn protein cornstarch-the starch of the maize grain, used to make packing pellets grease- lubricants made from vegetable oils, including soybean oil, that can replace petroleum based lubricants. (2) Polylactic acid is one of the most interest

Diagramms & Pictures Topic Area Bio-based Materials Description
products that are bio-based. Poly(lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the United States), tapioca products (roots, chips or starch mostly in Asia) or sugarcanes (in the rest of world). It can biodegrade under certain conditions, such as the presence of oxygen, and is difficult to recycle. Bacterial fermentation is used to produce lactic acid from corn starch or cane sugar. However, lactic acid cannot be directly polymerized to a useful product, because each polymerization reaction generates one molecule of water, the presence of which degrades the forming polymer chain to the point that only very low molecular weights are observed. Instead, two lactic acid molecules undergo a single esterfication and then catalytically cyclized to make a cyclic dilactate ester. Although dimerization also generates water, it can be separated prior to polymerization due to a significant drop in polarity. PLA of high molecular weight is produced from the dilactate ester by ring-opening polymerization using most commonly a stannous octoate[citation needed] catalyst, but for laboratory demonstrations tin(II) chloride is often employed. This mechanism does not generate additional water, and hence, a wide range of molecular weights is accessible. Polymerization of a racemic mixture of L- and D-lactides usually leads to the synthesis of polyDL-lactide (PDLLA) which is amorphous. Use of stereospecific catalysts can lead to heterotactic PLA which has been found to show crystallinity. The degree of crystallinity, and hence many important properties, is largely controlled by the ratio of D to L enantiomers used, and to a lesser extent on the type of catalyst used. (3)

Topic Area Phase-Changing Description
Phase-change material or PCM is a matter with a high heat of fusion that transforms its form at a certain temperature where it is capable of absorbing and releasing large amounts of energy. PCMs are also known as latent heat storage units, as they absorb/release a large amount of thermal energy without changing the temperature of the material itself. PCMs latent heat storage can be achieved through several phase changes between solid, liquid, and gas. But the most practical phase change for PCMs is the solid-liquid change or vies versa. Just like when ice cubes in a drink absorb large amount of heat when melting, yet keeping the drink cool for a long time. Below is the explanation of different measured encapsulation of PSMs: Macro-encapsulation: Early development of macro-encapsulation with large volume containment failed due to the poor thermal conductivity of most PCMs. PCMs tend to solidify at the edges of the containers preventing effective heat transfer. Micro-encapsulation: Micro-encapsulation on the other hand showed no such problem. It allows the PCMs to be incorporated into construction materials, such as concrete, easily and economically. Micro-encapsulated PCMs also provide a portable heat storage system. By coating a microscopic sized PCM with a protective coating, the particles can be suspended within a continuous phase such as water. This system List of Products can be considered a phase change slurry (PCS). Paraffin Ployethylene Molecular-encapsulation is another tech Micronal nology, developed by Dupont de Nemours that allows a very high concentration of PCM within a polymer compound. It allows storage capacity Source/ company up to 515 kJ/m2 for a 5 mm board (103 MJ/m3). Phase-Change Material. (2012, January 5).

Diagramms & Pictures Smart Materials Group Phase-Changing Description
A waxy white or colourless solid hydrocarbon mixture used to make candles, wax paper, lubricants, and sealing materials. Initially, paraffin wax is used in medical treatment as it retains heat. The heat absorbed increases the skins circulation and opens up the pores, allowing the lubricants in the wax to penetrate and soften the skin. It is beneficial for people suffering from arthritis or other joint or muscle pain.

Product/Material Name & Picture Paraffin

Paraffin Wax Solid

Paraffin Wax liquid (heated)

Paraffin wax is an excellent material to store heat, having a specific heat capacity. This property is exploited in modified drywall for home building material: it is infused in the drywall during manufacture so that, when installed, it melts during the day, absorbing heat, and solidifies again at night, releasing the heat. For further use of such a material for clothing or buildings, another material Input Materials + Components called Micronal is designed (see the next topic). Paraffin wax is a basically a mixture of alkanes with mixture of alkanes with a carbon number more than about 22.It is obtained from crude oil by distillation then purified by solvent refining.

Application Areas
Paraffin can be easily used in walls to control the temprature surrounding it by absorbing and releasing heat energy.

Smart Materials Group Phase-Changing Description Product/Material Name & Picture Micronal
Phase-Change process in Micronal

Micronal PCM is a technology to improve indoor climate to comfortable living conditions with better energy efficiency through an intellectual temperature management system. The material consists of microscopic wax droplets inside hard acrylic polymer shells, all together creating a 2 20 m sized microcapsules. The shells are simply to stay resistant to be damaged by sanding, drilling or cutting of the construction material. Basically, act as a protective layer to the wax inside it. Apart from its uses on building materials, Micronal has also been integrated within an astronauts spacesuit or a soldiers garments for interior temperature management. Input Materials + Components Micronal consists of two materials: 1- Mixture of wax that absorbs/releases the heat energy 2- acrylic as a shell protecting the wax from harmful impacs.

Application Areas
Usually, Micronal is used in the size of 5 m, in the form of a dispersion of microcapsules in water or dry powder into renders and mortar. It is also considered as a light weight material comparing to concrete and brick wall. A 1.5 cm thick Micronal PCM gypsum wall board works as a thermal storage capacity identical to that of 9 cm deep concrete wall. The system works in daily cycles in relation to heat energy similar to Paraffin. During the day time, the wax used in Micronal absorbs a large amount of heat energy, once the temperature level starts rising from 26C. Thats when the material changes its phase from solid wax to liquid. During the night, when the temperature falls from 21C, the Micronal releases the heat energy stored and transforms back to a solid wax, and the whole cycle continues over and over for decades. The material was applied in countries cooler than Oman. If we try to make it work in Oman for example in tent structures for camping, then we might have to work around the thikness of the acrylic to manage the hot environment surrounding it.
