	As the new regulations are forcing manufacturers to construct buildings of ever-decreasing heat exchange, there is an increasing demand for materials that provide high thermal insulation. For concrete-based materials, increased thermal insulation is achieved by increasing porocity - air pockets have much lower heat transfer capabilities than solid concrete.

			== Overview of results ==


			There are many factors that determine the (compressve) strength of AAC. One important one is the principal crystal phase that in turn is dependent on the starting materials but also importantly on the autoclaving conditions. Tobermorite is formed during the autoclaving phase and is the main crystal phase responsible for the strength of the material. However, under less favourable conditions, other crystal phases can be formed, resulting in lowered toughness and/or strength.

			The reinforcing fibers need to allow cutting the AAC blocks before autoclaving and also sustain high temperature (200 <sup>o</sup>C) and pressure (12 bar) at alkaline conditions and 100% relative humidity during autoclaving. Additionally, the reinforcement should have strong interactions with the concrete materix in order to provide tension dissipation. In ideal cases, the reinforcement should support the formation of tobermorite by creating centers.
