Composition dependence of some thermo-physical properties of multi-component Se78-xTe20Sn2Bix (0 < x < 6) chalcogenide glasses

Thermo-physical properties of multi-component Se78-xTe20Sn2Pbx chalcogenide glasses

Simultaneous measurements of thermal conductivity and diffusivity of Se(85-x)Te(15)Sb(x) (x = 2, 4, 6 and 10) chalcogenide glasses at room temperature

Comparative study of the mechanical and thermal properties of lightweight cementitious composites

A comparative study was conducted on the properties of lightweight cementitious composites (LWCCs) mixed with four types of filler particles; EPS beads, dry-expanded plastic microspheres, hollow glass microspheres, and fly ash cenospheres. Thermal conductivity was tested using the transient plane source method. Results showed that thermal conductivity of LWCCs are dictated by the volume of lightweight functional filler (LWF) used and are insensitive to the type of LWF.

Reaction to fire of an intumescent epoxy resin: Protection mechanisms and synergy

This article investigates the effects of two types of nanoparticles, OctaMethylOligomericSilsesquioxanes (OMPOSS) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in a model epoxy resin. Intumescent phosphorous-based flame-retardant (APP) was also incorporated with the CNTs. Thermal conductivity of nanocomposites was measured using a thermal analyser with the transient plane source method. Epoxy with APP and OMPOSS had increasing thermal conductivity below the glass transition temperature (Tg) but slowed above Tg. When APP and CNTs were combined, CNTs hid the effects of APP, leading to a decrease in thermal conductivity.
