Various sustainable insulating materials have been documented with specific thermal conductivities and features: Aerogel (Cellulose, Mg(OH)2) has a conductivity of 56–81 mW m−1 K−1 and is flame retardant; Aerogel (Cellulose) has a conductivity of 25.5 mW m−1 K−1 and is low density/high strength; High porosity wood (Cellulose) has a conductivity of 38 mW m−1 K−1 and is lightweight/noise reducing; Bamboo particle boards (Lignin, glue) have a conductivity of 101–201 mW m−1 K−1 and hygrothermal properties; Aerogel (Silica, lignin, ethylene glycol polymer) has a conductivity of 40 mW m−1 K−1 and is fire resistant/superhydrophobic; Aerogel (Silica) has a conductivity of 19–23 mW m−1 K−1 and is acoustic insulating; Aerogel (Konjac glucomannan, silica) has a conductivity of 21 mW m−1 K−1 and is ultralight/high strength/hydrophobic; Aerogel (Cellulose nanowhisker) has a conductivity of 45 mW m−1 K−1 and is flexible/flame retardant/high strength; Aerogel (Cellulose, PVA) has a conductivity of 31–42 mW m−1 K−1 and is ultralow density/high porosity/superhydrophobic; Aerogel (Cellulose, graphene confined-zirconium phosphate nanosheets) has a conductivity of 18 mW m−1 K−1 and is high strength/flame retardant; Aerogel (Bacterial cellulose) has a conductivity of 13 mW m−1 K−1 and is flexible; Foam (Wood fiber, phytic acid, polyethyleneimine) has a conductivity of 33.6–40 mW m−1 K−1 and is tough/flame retardant/self-extinguishing.
