Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
The ceramic Cecorite 130P was analyzed using the transient plane source (TPS) technique in order to measure the thermal conductivity in the range from 88 to 280 K. Fused quartz samples were also investigated in order to ensure the technique worked at liquid nitrogen temperatures. The thermal conductivity of Cecorite 130P was determined to have a slight dependence on temperature, with a maximum around 170 K....
Using industrial grade mullite powder and a foaming and starch consolidation process, a series of porous mullite ceramics were prepared. These ceramics were analyzed by a thermal constants analyzer, and it was determined that the ceramics had low thermal conductivities and would make good thermal insulators. The porosity of the synthesized ceramics can be controlled by the sintering temperature and by adjusting solid loading. The ceramics were subjected to theoretical ...
Glass components recovered from dismantled cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are very difficult to recycle or reuse and so other methods of using these glass components must be found to prevent environmental problems. Through the mixing of the recovered glass with calcium carbonate powder, glass foams can be synthesized that have applications in thermal and acoustic insulation. The various effects on the sintering process such as heating rate and holding time ...
In order to measure the thermal properties of polymer composites that are filled with ceramic powder the researchers created 'macromodels' that accurately modelled the interfacial resistance at each ceramic-polymer boundary. The macromodels were created by spin-coating the polymers onto sapphire wafers....
Five different glasses were created in the present study with varying compositional ratios in a CaO-B2O2-SiO2 (CBS) System and the thermal and dielectric properties of these glasses were studied. A glass was found that had high thermal conductivity and promising dielectric properties, with a low sintering temperature that allows for the addition of fillers to adjust thermal and dielectric properties further....
