Popis: This paper describes the effect of inorganic adsorbents on the hygrothermal performance of insulating materials. The addition of the inorganic adsorbents leads to significant effect to the microstructure and mechanical properties of these materials. The thermal conductivity rang of the materials containing adsorbents from 0.095 to 0.116 (W/m−1 K−1) is lower than that of those without adsorbents (0.121 (W.m−1 K−1)), resulting in reducing the heat consumption of these insulation materials. The kinetics and isotherms water vapor adsorption confirm an increase in moisture uptake capacity at low relative humidity (33%) and small variation of moisture adsorption capacity at high relative humidity (75%) in the presence of the adsorbents. The moisture buffering of the boards containing different adsorbent contents is improved with an excellent moisture buffer value up to 2.7 g/(m2.%RH).
