| Abstract | The construction of VIPs is based on the principle of vacuum technology, invented by British scientist James Dewar in 1892. VIPs are made with open porous core materials enclosed in an impermeable gas barrier (Figure 1) and have three major components: 1) open porous core material that imparts mechanical strength and thermal insulating capacity 2) gas barrier/facer foil that provides the air and vapor-tight enclosure for the core material, and 3) getter and desiccant inside the core material that help extend the service life by adsorbing residual or permeating atmospheric gases or water vapor in the barrier enclosure. |
