Bio-Composites Reinforced with Natural Fibers: Comparative Analysis of Thermal, Static and Dynamic-Mechanical Properties
In the present study, flax, jute and glass woven fabric samples were developed as reinforcement for composites with bio-epoxy resin. Flax fabrics were developed with plain weave, twill weave...
Fabrication of silicon on insulator wafer with silicon carbide insulator layer by surface-activated bonding at room temperature
We propose a process for the fabrication of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer with a silicon carbide (SiC) insulator layer by combining plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition and surface-activated...
Size, Concentration and Content Effect of Copper/Graphite Hybrid Dopant on Mechanical, Thermal and Electrical Conductivity Characteristics of Unsaturated Polyester Resin
In this paper, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and physical properties of unsaturated polyester resin with

Thermal and Acoustic Insulation Boards from Microalgae Biomass, Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate and Glass Wool
Among the many functions that a building material needs to have, its insulation functions stand out. This type of materials acts by decreasing the conduction of heat/sound in to the environment. In...
Innovative thermal and acoustic insulation foam by using recycled ceramic shell and expandable styrofoam (EPS) wastes
Ceramic foams were produced using ceramic shell (mullite source), an industrial solid waste from the precision casting process, and expandable styrofoams, EPS (d50 < 1 mm) as pore former,...
Heat and Sound Insulation Applications of Pineapple Aerogels from Pineapple Waste
Given the harmful effects of agricultural waste residues on the environment and the abundance of pineapple byproducts after harvest, converting pineapple waste into a high-engineering value product...
Recycling of an Agricultural Bio-waste as a Novel Cellulose Aerogel: A Green Chemistry Study
Cellulose aerogel (CA) isolated from tea stem wastes (TSW) is a good fire retardant and heat insulator, environmentally friendly, thermally stable and highly porous material with a network structure....
Synergistic Effect of Selectively Distributed Hybrid Fillers on Thermal Properties of Polycarbonate Composites
A quaternary nanocomposite polycarbonate (PC)- multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)/SEBS-g-MA (SM)-AlN is prepared by controlling the selective distribution of nano-fillers via melt-blending....
