Abstrakt: This work examines the foam density of polystyrene (PS) blended with low density polyethylene (LDPE) at various ratios, and the thermal conductivity of vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) using PSIPE with filler foam as core materials. The experimental results indicate that LDPE strongly influences the foam density of PS/PE foam and the content of open-cells in PS/PE with filler foam. A higher content of open-cells in PSIPE with filler foam can lead to a lower thermal conductivity of VIP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
