\n| Solution<\/td>\n | Easy soluble in water, and other organic solvents<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nFunctional Features<\/h3>\nDMAP is known for its efficient catalytic action, which can accelerate the progress of various chemical reactions while maintaining high selectivity. During polymer synthesis, it is often used as a catalyst for esterification and amidation reactions, which helps to form more stablechemical bonds. In addition, DMAP also shows certain antioxidant ability, which can delay the aging process of the material and extend the service life. <\/p>\n Application Background<\/h3>\nIn the field of building insulation materials, the application of DMAP is mainly concentrated in the following aspects:<\/p>\n \n- Improve the crosslinking density of materials<\/strong>: Improve the mechanical strength and toughness of materials by promoting crosslinking reactions. <\/li>\n
- Enhanced thermal insulation performance<\/strong>: Optimize the internal microstructure of the material and reduce heat conductivity. <\/li>\n
- Reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions: reduce the generation of harmful substances by controlling reaction conditions. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
These functions make DMAP an ideal choice for improving the performance of building insulation materials. <\/p>\n
\nThe application mechanism of DMAP in building insulation materials<\/h2>\nImprove material cross-linking density<\/h3>\nCrosslinking density is one of the key factors that determine the mechanical properties of thermal insulation materials. Traditional crosslinking reactions often require higher temperatures and longer time, and the addition of DMAP can significantly speed up this process. Specifically, DMAP reduces the reaction activation energy by activating the reaction site, so that the crosslinking reaction can be completed quickly at lower temperatures. Experimental studies show that in polyurethane foam systems containing DMAP, the crosslinking density can be increased by about 30%, while the tensile strength and compression strength of the material are also increased by 25% and 20% respectively. <\/p>\n \n\n| Material Type<\/th>\n | Discounted DMAP<\/th>\n | After adding DMAP<\/th>\n | Elevation<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n| Polyurethane foam<\/td>\n | 0.05 MPa<\/td>\n | 0.065 MPa<\/td>\n | +30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Polystyrene Foam<\/td>\n | 0.03 MPa<\/td>\n | 0.04 MPa<\/td>\n | +33%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nEnhanced thermal insulation performance<\/h3>\nThe improvement of thermal insulation performance of DMAP insulating materials is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is to optimize the pore structure of the material, and the other is to reduce the heat conduction path. During the preparation of polyurethane foam, DMAP can effectively regulate the foaming process, making the bubble distribution more uniform and fine. This change in microstructure not only reduces the thermal conductivity of the material, but also improves its moisture-heat resistance. <\/p>\n \n\n| Parameter name<\/th>\n | Discounted DMAP<\/th>\n | After adding DMAP<\/th>\n | Elevation<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n| Thermal conductivity (W\/m\u00b7K)<\/td>\n | 0.025<\/td>\n | 0.021<\/td>\n | -16%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Hydrunk and heat resistance (%)<\/td>\n | 80<\/td>\n | 90<\/td>\n | +12.5%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nReduce VOC emissions<\/h3>\nVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common pollutants in traditional insulation materials, causing serious harm to human health and the environment. DMAP can significantly reduce the generation of VOC by adjusting the reaction conditions. For example, in the production of some modified polystyrene foams, the addition of DMAP reduces VOC emissions by nearly 40%. <\/p>\n \n\n| VOC types<\/th>\n | Emissions (mg\/m\u00b3)<\/th>\n | After adding DMAP<\/th>\n | Reduce amplitude<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n| Benzene<\/td>\n | 120<\/td>\n | 72<\/td>\n | -40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| <\/td>\n | 150<\/td>\n | 90<\/td>\n | -40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nProgress in domestic and foreign research<\/h2>\nDomestic research status<\/h3>\nIn recent years, my country’s scientific research institutions and enterprises have conducted extensive research on the application of DMAP in building insulation materials. For example, a study from the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Tsinghua University showed that by optimizing the dosage and reaction conditions of DMAP, the comprehensive performance of polyurethane foam can be significantly improved. The research team has developed a new composite insulation material with a thermal conductivity of only 0.018 W\/m\u00b7K, which is far below the industry average. <\/p>\n At the same time, some well-known domestic companies are also actively promoting the industrial application of DMAP technology. For example, a well-known building materials manufacturer successfully developed a polystyrene foam board based on DMAP modification. The product has passed the national green building materials certification and is widely used in exterior wall insulation systems for residential and public buildings. <\/p>\n Foreign research trends<\/h3>\nIn foreign countries, DMAP research focuses more on the development of high-performance insulation materials. A from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)A research team proposed a concept of “intelligent insulation material”, which achieved a comprehensive improvement in material performance by combining DMAP with other functional additives. Experimental results show that this new material not only has excellent thermal insulation properties, but also can remain stable under extreme climate conditions. <\/p>\n In addition, some European research institutions are also actively exploring the application of DMAP in renewable resource-based insulation materials. For example, the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany developed a bio-based polyurethane foam based on vegetable oil as the raw material. By adding DMAP, its comprehensive performance reaches the level of traditional petroleum-based products. <\/p>\n \n\n| Country\/Region<\/th>\n | Research Institution or Enterprise<\/th>\n | Main achievements<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n| China<\/td>\n | Tsinghua University<\/td>\n | Develop low thermal conductivity composite insulation materials<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| USA<\/td>\n | MIT<\/td>\n | Proof of concept of intelligent insulation materials<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| Germany<\/td>\n | Fraunhof Institute<\/td>\n | Property optimization of bio-based polyurethane foam<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nPractical Case Analysis<\/h2>\nIn order to better illustrate the application effect of DMAP in building insulation materials, several typical practical cases are selected below for analysis. <\/p>\n Case 1: Exterior wall insulation renovation project in a residential community<\/h3>\nThe project is located in a cold northern region and uses DMAP-modified polyurethane foam board as exterior wall insulation material. After a year of use monitoring, data shows that the indoor temperature of the renovated building increased by 2\u2103 on average in winter, and the heating energy consumption decreased by about 15%. At the same time, the durability and environmental performance of the material have also been unanimously praised by residents. <\/p>\n Case 2: Roof insulation project of a large commercial complex<\/h3>\nThe project uses a high-performance polystyrene foam board containing DMAP for the construction of roof insulation system. After the construction is completed, it was found that the high temperature in summer is 5\u2103 lower than traditional materials, effectively reducing the burden of air conditioning and refrigeration. In addition, the VOC emissions of the materials are far below the national standard limit and meet strict environmental protection requirements. <\/p>\n
\nChallenges and solutions<\/h2>\nAlthough DMAP has broad application prospects in building insulation materials, it still faces some technical and economic challenges. <\/p>\n | | | | |
