Water adsorption on surfaces of calcium aluminosilicate crystal phase of stone wool: a DFT study

Abstract Stone wool is widely used as an efficient thermal insulator within the construction industry; however, its performance can be significantly impacted by the presence of water vapor. By altering the material’s characteristics and effective thermo-physical properties, water vapor can reduce ov...
