Cellulose Nanocrystals reduce cold damage to reproductive buds in fruit crops

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 ...

Thermal properties of green alumina porcelain

The thermal properties, as well as bulk density, and mass loss of alumina porcelain were determined as a function of firing temperature. It was found that after sintering at 1320 ºC, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increased by ~700% and ~400%, respectively....

Porous thermal insulation materials derived from fly ash using a foaming and slip casting method         

Coal fly ash was used as the base material for the formation of thermal insulation materials. The porosity of the produced materials ranged from 86.3-94.5 vol. %. The insulating materials were prepared by ball milling, followed by foaming assisted by the addition of K12, casting and drying, and finally sintering. No harmful chemicals were released to the environment during their preparation. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the samples ...

Porous mullite ceramics with low thermal conductivity prepared by foaming and starch consolidation

Using industrial grade mullite powder and a foaming and starch consolidation process, a series of porous mullite ceramics were prepared. These ceramics were analyzed by a thermal constants analyzer, and it was determined that the ceramics had low thermal conductivities and would make good thermal insulators. The porosity of the synthesized ceramics can be controlled by the sintering temperature and by adjusting solid loading. The ceramics were subjected to theoretical ...
