EN 998-1 performance requirements for thermal aerogel-based renders

The work highlights the relevance of understanding how each characteristic of the aggregate influences the behaviour of the final render, focusing on EN 998-1 requirements. Correlations between pore and molecular structure of the hybrid aerogels and the corresponding standard properties (compressive strength, capillary absorption and moisture vapour transmission) of the renders are discussed for further improvement of the renders' overall performance.
