The expanding production of polymeric materials is causing plastic waste to become a growing concern. This study aimed to fabricate cement and mortar composites that contained plastic in an attempt to extend the life of non-reusable plastics. The thermal conductivity of the composite material was ...
Polypropylene (PP) foams are commercially manufactured in four ways, with each method producing different characteristics. The aim of this paper was to examine the properties of each PP-based foam and compare their thermal behaviors and conductivities. A thermal constant analyzer was used to measure the ...
The authors report the synthesis of a novel functionalized graphene sheet (FGS)/silicone porous nanocomposite with varying concentrations of FGS. The physical and thermal properties of the synthesized nanocomposites were studied in depth. SEM and TEM were used to elucidate the physical microstructure of the ...
