Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are renewable nano-biomaterials that may be suitable for reducing cold damage in fruit buds to their low thermal conductivity. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of CNC as a thermal insulation material used in protecting sweet cherry and grape reproductive buds from cold damage. The thermal conductivity measurements were conducted using the transient plane source (TPS). It was found that the average thermal conductivity for ...
