Porous monoliths, often referred to as polymerised High Internal Phase Emulsions (polyHIPEs), are materials made of polymers that have applications ranging from chemical engineering to biomedicine. In this paper, a TPS instrument measured the thermal conductivity of tannin-based monoliths with the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that as the porosity of the polyHIPEs increased, the thermal conductivity decreased linearly, a characteristic that could be used for applications in ...
Carbon foams were prepared from diphenolic acid-based benzoxazine foams by pyrolysis under nitrogen atmosphere. The method used in this article produced foams containing a large fraction of closed cells which is uncommon for carbon foams. The foams studied were found to possess similar mechanical properties common to other carbon foams; however, the presence of the high fraction of closed cells led to the lowest observed thermal conductivity ever reported for ...
