High porosity cement-based foam materials were prepared through physical air-entraining method and the pore structure and the properties of materials were characterized. The results show that water-cement ratio and Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) content have crucial influence on material properties. When the water-cement ratio was 0.9 and the content of HPMC was 0.4%, the cement-based foam material with the porosity of 94.33% and thermal conductivity value of 0.049 W/(m K) could be obtained. The formation mechanism of pore structure was analyzed that water-cement ratio and HPMC content affect the bubble film toughness which influence on material properties. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
