This study focused on the influence of the state of curing on the thermal conductivity of the subsequent rubber compound. The TPS instrument was chosen to perform the measurements due to its fast test times and non destructive method of testing. Vulcanization rate was found to have a significant impact on the thermal conductivity of the product...
Polyflavenoid tannin-furanic rigid foams have widespread industrial applications. The chemical and physical properties of the five main tannin-based foams are tested and compared in this paper. A TPS instrument measured the thermal conductivity of the tannin-based foams using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the tannin foam containing formaldehyde and a low-boiling blowing agent (STD) had the highest thermal conductivity, and the foams without formaldehyde and surfactant (...
