The thermal properties, as well as bulk density, and mass loss of alumina porcelain were determined as a function of firing temperature. It was found that after sintering at 1320 ºC, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity increased by ~700% and ~400%, respectively....
Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)-block-poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTT-PMTO) copolymer-based nanocomposites containing a combination of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) as carbon nanofillers were investigated to determine their thermal conductivities. Nanocomposites having a total carbon nanofiller concentration of 0.4 and 0.6 wt. % were preparared with varying ...
The thermal conductivity and thermal boundary resistance between ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) and microcrystalline diamond (MCD) films on silicon wafers were evaluated. It was found that the MCD/Si composite wafers were more thermally conductive than the UNCD/Si wafers over the temperature range tested. It ...
Metal doping of a polypyrrole matrix was carried out. Nickel and Cobalt were the two metals that were used in this study, and three samples were prepared, one containing 100% Co, one containing 50% Co and 50% Ni, and finally, one containing 100% Ni. The effective thermal conductivity and ...
La0.7Ba0.15Sr0.15MnO3 (LBSMO) powder was prepared and mixed with HDPE powder in volume fractions from 0 to 0.30. These powders were then molded into pellet form in a hot press and cooled to room temperature. The thermal conductivity of the resulting composite was then measured ...
