Functional Nanocellulose Aerogels for Varying Technological Applications
Nanocellulose is a renewable and biocompatible nanomaterial with a high strength, low density, and tunable surface chemistry. Since a lot
of hydroxyl groups are present on the surface of the...
Experimental research and molecular dynamics simulation on thermal properties of capric acid/ethylene-vinyl/graphene composite phase change materials
In this paper, a new series of phase change materials (PCMs) composed of capric acid/ethylene-vinyl acetate/graphene (CA/EVA/GR) were prepared and thermal properties were investigated using molecular...
Evaluation of the impact of thermal performance on various building bricks and blocks: A review
Due to urbanization, most people want to live in a sophisticated ambiance in this modern age. Consequently, they have ready to spend massive investment on improving their buildings’ inside...
Thermal insulation and hydrophobization of wood impregnated with silica aerogel powder
The aim of the study was to develop a simple and cost-effective method to improve thermal insulation and hydrophobicity of wood. Herein, we attempted to use commercially available silica aerogel...
Influence of filler hybridization on thermomechanical properties of hemp/silver epoxy composite
The polymer composite material’s thermomechanical properties with fiber as reinforcement material have been widely studied in the last few decades. However, these fiber-based polymer composites...
Rheological study of EPDM/silicone rubber blends phase inversion and characterization of resultant mechanical and thermal properties
