Abstract

 In cold chain logistics equipment, the role of insulation materials is very important. With the continuous development of cold chain logistics, the requirements for insulation materials are getting higher and higher, and future insulation materials need to be more energy-saving and environmentally friendly. This paper introduces the development of cold chain logistics and the insulation materials commonly used in cold chain logistics, which include extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), polyurethane foam (PU), vacuum insulation panels (VIP), and aerogel materials. The performance of these insulation materials and their applications in cold chain logistics are also summarized. In addition, the future development direction of thermal insulation materials is envisioned to promote the sustainable development of the cold chain logistics industry.
