Underground warehouses for food storage in the Dolomites (Eastern alps – Italy) and energy efficiency
Underground food storage represents an interesting solution to the increasing demand for new food storage space, combining this demand with sustainable land exploitation. It also reduces the energy...
Silica Aerogel Thermal Insulation Coating as Commodity Usage
Silica aerogel-based thermal insulation coating (SA-coating) was prepared from a commercial acrylic binder. The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effectiveness of SA-coating with the...
Multi-scale analysis on thermal properties of cement-based materials containing micro-encapsulated phase change materials
The incorporation of phase change materials (PCMs) in building envelopes for passive thermal storage can enhance the thermal mass effect and thereby reduce energy consumption. In this investigation,...
Effects of concrete waste on characteristics of structural fired clay bricks
This study focuses on evaluation of concrete waste in the production of fired clay brick. Ground concrete waste powder was replaced with the clay up to 15% by weight. Samples were shaped in the form...
Boron nitride–nanosheet enhanced cellulose nanofiber aerogel with excellent thermal management properties
Boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) are desirable materials for thermal management applications owing to their excellent thermal conductivity. Such property also related to the increased thermal...

The Effective Temperature at Which Fingertips Sense Thermal Effusivity and the Bias of Measurements
Thermoreceptors in the fingertips sense the temperature drop upon contact with an object and in that way its thermal effusivity. But, at which effective object temperature?
That is the question...
Perhydropolysilazane derived SiON interfacial layer for Cu-epoxy molding compound composite
The interface of Cu/epoxy molding compound composite (Cu/EMC) faces threats from water and ionic compounds, which can induce the delamination of the Cu/EMC, and thus, affect the reliability of the...
Synergetic Effect of Micro-bamboo Filler and Graphene Nanoplatelets on Thermomechanical Properties of Epoxy-Based Hybrid Composite
A hybrid composite material is comprised of two or more substantially different materials whose fusion generates combined features which are different from those of its individual constituents. In...
