Heat transfer in polypropylene-based foams produced using different foaming processes 

Polypropylene (PP) foams are commercially manufactured in four ways, with each method producing different characteristics. The aim of this paper was to examine the properties of each PP-based foam and compare their thermal behaviors and conductivities. A thermal constant analyzer was used to measure the thermal conductivity of the foam samples with the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that thermal conductivity varied for each production method, but density ...

Measuring the Thermal Conductivity of Thin Samples of Electrically Insulating Materials

This work introduces a specifically designed sensor to measure the thermal conductivity of thin, insulating materials. This sensor, referred to as the hot square sensor, is unlike the standard sensors, in the sense that it is square in nature, and does not have two, thin layers of Kapton insulation on either side of the thin, metal heating spiral. The lack of Kapton allows a good thermal contact between the sample ...
