Abstract

Design and fabrication of hollow silicate micro-/ nanoparticles (HSMNP) with varied sizes and morphologies are of great interest especially in developing new generation of thermal insulation materials for building applications. Efficient energy use, simply called energy-saving, involves efforts to reduce the amount of energy required and recover wasted energy. This is important since building constitutes a substantial part in the total global energy consumption. Therefore, the current study is aimed at developing new HSMNP for thermal insulation application.
