This paper investigates the effect sulphate exposure has on the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of low density cement based foams, with and without microfiber reinforcement. This was done by exposing these cement foams to sulfphate over 90 days. The compressive strength and flexural toughness displayed ...
The thermal properties of oil palm shell (OPS) are investigated to determine if it could be used as a lightweight aggregate for a concrete mixture. The thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and specific heat were all tested through a transient plane source (TPS) method. The thermal conductivity ...
The aim of this study was to fabricate transparent polymers with high thermal conductivities for applications in electronic packaging. Characteristics of the inorganic filler, calcium fluoride (CaF2), and the polymer matrix were examined, and thermal conductivity was measured using a thermal analyzer based on the ...
Diamond is an extremely conductive material that would be ideal for dissipating heat in microelectronics if it were not for its high price tag. In this study, cost effective copper- and chromium-diamond composites (uncoated (Cu/D), Cu-coated (Cu/CuD), and Cr-coated (Cu/CrD)) were produced ...
Asphalt solar collector (ASC) is a conductive asphalt concrete and an eco-friendly method to de-ice roadways. This study examined if the addition of conductive fillers and various mixing parameters could improve the thermal conductivity and energy efficiency of ASC. A thermal conductivity system measured the ...
