Polymer-Encapsulated Aerogel Fibers Prepared via Coaxial Wet Spinning with Stepwise Coagulation for Thermal Insulation
Abstract: Polymer-encapsulated aerogel fibers with high porosity, low density, and good mechanical properties are promising candidates for thermal insulation materials. However, the fabrication of...
Fabrication and Characterization of Self-Healable Polydisulfide Network-Based Composites
Abstract: To overcome the disadvantages of difficulty in reprocessing due to rigidity of the thermosetting polymer, a dynamic polymer chain in which a cross-linking reaction is formed by using...
Tailoring thermal resistance of porous materials with void filling for improved hydrogen adsorption
Abstract: Porous materials such as 5A molecular sieve (5A) display huge thermal resistance due to high porosity and lots of voids between grains that is negative to hydrogen isotope separation...
Development of Rigid Polyurethane Foams Based on Kraft Lignin Polyol Obtained by Oxyalkylation Using Propylene Carbonate
Abstract: This study aimed to develop new rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) for thermal insulation based on kraft lignin, the main by-product of the pulp and paper industry. Crude lignin-based polyol...
Thermal Conductivity, Mechanical Properties, and Thermal Properties of Polycarbonate Composite Materials Reinforced With Talc and Some Ceramic Fillers
Abstract: Polymers are widely used as insulating materials. However, a lot of effort has been made to improve their properties, especially their thermal conductivity. The goal is to create materials...
Effect of Porosity on Thermal Properties of Porous Silicon
Abstract: We report on the thermal properties of nanostructured silicon prepared by using a laser-assisted electrochemical route. The main thermal properties of porous silicon were directly measured...
The influence of addition of carbon nanotube and graphene platelets on characteristics of carbon/basalt fiber reinforced intra-ply hybrid composites
Abstract: In this study, effects of addition of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene platelets (GPLs) on characteristics of carbon/basalt fiber reinforced intra-ply hybrid composites were...
Thermo‐mechanical properties of flexible and rigid polyurethane (PU)/Cu composites
Abstract: In this article, flexible and rigid polyurethane (PU)/copper (Cu) composites are prepared via a simple and cost-effective solution casting process. The filler dispersion and chemical...
Regulating Intermolecular Chain Interaction of Biopolymer with Natural Polyol for Flexible, Optically Transparent and Thermally Conductive Hybrids
Abstract: Natural polymers like cellulose are rich in hydrophilic groups those are able to form intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. The regulation of such interactions...
