Safety tests were conducted on cesium-loaded spherical resorcinol formaldehyde (SRF), resulting in a possible reclassification of the fire safety for the Cesium Ion Exchange Process System (CXP) emergency elution vessels, equipment, and piping. One of these tests was to determine the thermal conductivity using the transient line source technique, as thermal conductivity is a very important quantity for the safe treatment of materials....
Aerogels are ultra-light, insulative, porous materials that have a wide variety of applications. The aim of this study was to synthesize resorcinol/formaldehyde (RF) cross-linked silica aerogels in one pot by acid catalysis. A thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the RF/SiO2 aerogels using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that although the RF/SiO2 aerogels had a lower density, their thermal conductivities resembled those ...
