The present invention provides several methods and materials for use in building construction that may require air and water barrier, and water vapor permeability along with thermal or acoustic insulation. Several embodiments provide materials for a variety of building construction needs that can help build next generation green buildings.

Energy efficient and insulated building envelopes

A lightweight and compact super-insulation system that is also capable of supporting a high level of compressive load. The system utilizes spacers to provide structural support and utilize controlled buckling of a thin protective outer skin supported by spacers to form strong catenary surfaces to protect insulation material underneath. The spacers may comprise an aerogel, or an aerogel may provide insulation separate from the spacer yet contained within the thin outer skin.

Load-bearing, lightweight, and compact super-insulation system

An adhesive comprising a combination of high molecular weight acrylic and/or methacrylic esters, which become co-polymerized with low molecular weight acrylic and/or methacrylic esters, and advantageously polymers, such as impact modifiers including graft co-polymer (core-shell and non core-shell) impact modifiers, carboxylic acids, elastomers, and sulfur bearing compositions, such as chlorosulfonated polymers.
