Morgan Advanced Materials announces that strategic business development specialist Richard Clark will be presenting “The Unparalleled Advantages of Microporous Insulation” at the upcoming Materials Science and Technology 2015 (MS&T15) conference. His presentation, part of the Thermal Protection Materials and Systems symposium, will take place October 6, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. in the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Room E160A.
Mr. Clark will focus on how microporous insulation materials can facilitate the slim and lightweight construction design that is essential in the aerospace and aircraft industries. The materials are used as part of engine insulation in civilian aircraft, as well as in rocket engines, flight data recorders (“black boxes”), and other exhaust systems, as well as part of high efficiency fire protection systems. With the correct material, high thermal insulation and low weight characteristics can be achieved at temperatures up to 1100°C.
The talk will share a variety of application examples illustrating why microporous insulation materials’ excellent thermal characteristics and design flexibility make them an ideal choice for protecting sensitive measuring instruments. Examples include the NetLander designed for the ESA Mars expedition, which provided the legacy for MetNet and other planetary probe missions.
While focusing on extreme applications, Mr. Clark will also examine how microporous insulation material and design considerations facilitate improvements in other energy-related applications.
