Investigation of thermal and mechanical properties of Cu-Al alloys with silver addition prepared by powder metallurgy

This article investigated the effects of silver addition to copper-aluminum (Cu-Al) alloys. These effects were studied by observing the microstructural, thermal, and mechanical properties of the alloy through a variety of methods. A Thermal Constant Analyzer was used to determine the thermal properties (specifically the thermal conductivities) of the alloys by implementing the transient plane source (TPS) method. From this method, it was found that the thermal conductivity and diffusivity ...

Fabrication, proposed model and simulation predictions on thermally conductive hybrid cyanate ester composites with boron nitride fillers

In the present study, boron nitride/dicyclopentadiene bisphenol cyanate ester/bisphenol A dicyanate ester (BN/DCPDCE/BADCy) composites were investigated for the effects of filler mass on thermal and mechanical properties. Thermal conductivity was measured using an instrument by transient plane source method. With the addition of BN fillers for BN/DCPDCE/BADCy composites, the BN-BN connections of inner composites increased and formed more thermally conductive channels, resulting in improved ...

Tannin-based monoliths from emulsion-templating

Porous monoliths, often referred to as polymerised High Internal Phase Emulsions (polyHIPEs), are materials made of polymers that have applications ranging from chemical engineering to biomedicine. In this paper, a TPS instrument measured the thermal conductivity of tannin-based monoliths with the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that as the porosity of the polyHIPEs increased, the thermal conductivity decreased linearly, a characteristic that could be used for applications in ...

Sucrose-based carbon foams with enhanced thermal conductivity

Carbon foams are novelty materials that have a wide range of applications such as radiators, thermal protection, and fire-resistant cores. The main carbon sources of carbon foams are sucrose, coal, coal tar pitch, and petroleum pitch, however the foams that use sucrose as their primary source have low thermal conductivity. This paper examined the thermal properties of carbon foams derived from sucrose but used graphite fillers to improve thermal conductivity. ...

Performance of biocomposites from surface modified regenerated cellulose fibers and lactic acid thermoset bioresin

In this study, researchers set out to test the performance of biocomposites reinforced with regenerated cellulose fibers and lactic acid thermoset bioresin. A difference in treatments was conducted as the cellulose fibers were surface treated with either silane or alkali. The main goal of this research was to improve the overall strength of the interactions at the fiber-matrix interface. Multiple strength tests, such as the tensile, flexural and impact strength ...
