Abstract:
1. A method of forming an insulating body comprising: applying first and second streams onto a substrate while simultaneously applying a phase change material (PCM) onto the substrate, the PCM being applied in a third stream; the first stream comprising a binder and the second stream comprising particles containing aerogel material; the PCM comprising encapsulated phase change material contained within capsules having a diameter of between about 5 micrometers to about 40 micrometers, with the encapsulated phase change material being contained within durable capsules and able to transition from a solid to a liquid at a temperature greater than about 100 degrees Fahrenheit, to thus enhance thermal transience performance of the insulating body; and the PCM comprising at least about 60 parts out of 100 parts by weight of the total combined weight of the binder and the aerogel material.
