Lutetium aluminum garnet activated by cerium (LuAG:Ce) materials containing functional materials (SiO2 and MgO) were prepared. These materials are used in LEDs, and they require a high thermal conductivity in order to minimize thermal aging. The functional materials were added in order to increase ...
Graphite nano-platelets (GnPs) were dispersed in polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) to form a PEG/PMMA/GnPs composite organic form-stable phase change material. The effects of the incorporation of the GnPs on the morphological, structural, thermal, and electrical properties of the composite were then ...
In an effort to enhance heat transfer in the laminar flow regime of a heating duct, TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles were added to water to create nanofluids with a higher thermal conductivity than that of the water alone. Twist-tape was also used to enhance heat ...
The potential for the use of silica aerogels doped with TiO2 nanowires as thermal insulators was evaluated. It was found that the TiO2-doped aerogels showed good thermal insulation properties and that other desirable properties were retained upon the addition of TiO2 nanowires....
A series of compacted Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 nanoplatelets are synthesized using hydrothermal methods, followed by cold pressing and sintering at temperatures between 300°C and 380°C. A variety of thermal, mechanical and electrical analyses are then performed on the synthesized nanoplatelets including: TPS technique for thermal ...
