Thermal conductivity of highly porous mullite materials

Porous materials have widespread industrial applications. In this study, mullite materials with porosities between 72-86 vol% were fabricated and a thermal analyzer (TPS) measured their thermal conductivity using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that as the porosity of the mullite materials decreased, thermal conductivity increased....

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 ...

Studies on the Preparation of Polystyrene Thermal Conductivity Composites

Through the use of thermally conductive fillers the thermal properties of polystyrene (PS) are improved significantly. The different fillers include: aluminum oxide (Al2O3), magnesium oxide (MgO), B-silicon carbide particles (B-SiCp),  and  B-silicon carbide whiskers (B-SiCw). The use of PS flakes resulted in higher thermal conductivities than the use of PS particles, and the use of  B-silicon carbide whiskers resulted in the most favorable thermal conductivity and resulted in a ...
