An inter-comparison of a steady-state and transient methods for measuring the thermal conductivity of thin specimens of masonry materials

Author(s): David Salmon, Ron P. Tye

The aim of this study was to determine whether steady-state methods were better at measuring thermal conductivities of oven-fired clay masonry materials than transient methods, and vice versa. The Hot ...

Facile preparation of fracture-free pectin/clay aerogel monoliths

Author(s): H. Wu, Q. Chen, Y. Lua

Clay aerogels are typically used for insulation, filtration and absorption, and are typically favored because of their eco-friendly nature, low density and high porosity. Unfortunately, these aerogels are limiting due ...
