摘要: An insulation material useful in deep water well drilling applications includes an elastic polymer matrix, a plurality of rigid macro-beads within the inelastic matrix macro-beads, and hollow, insulative micro-beads matrix. The has adequate flexibility elasticity to withstand thermal expansion contraction, compressive strength high pressures, good properties at cold temperatures near freezing point water.
