Wood Waste Incorporation for Lightweight Porcelain Stoneware Tiles with Tailored Thermal Conductivity
Highlights:
Lightweight ceramic tiles were produced using wood wastes as porogen.
Reduction in weight (up to 12.5%) and thermal conductivity (76%) was achieved.
The environmental...
Chemical Retreating for Gel-typed Aerogel and Insulation Performance of Cement Containing Aerogel
This research identified the possibility of application as an insulation building material by mixing aerogels with the cement paste as well as their thermal performance. The aerogel is a very stable...
A Novel Approach to Support Structures Optimized for Heat Dissipation in SLM by Combining Process Simulation with Topology Optimization
Throughout the last decade, additive manufacturing (AM) processes have become increasingly relevant in different industries, e.g. medical, aerospace and tools, being on the verge to broad industrial...
Phase change microcapsules with lead tungstate shell for gamma radiation shielding and thermal energy storage
Novel microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) composed of the lead tungstate (PbWO4) shell and paraffin core were designed for shielding of gamma radiation as well as thermal energy...
Effect of various curing methods and addition of silica aerogel on mortar properties
Mechanical and thermal properties and porosity of aerogel-incorporated mortars exposed to various curing conditions (curing by wetting-drying, curing by magnesium sulphate (MgSO4), and water curing)...
Auto-coherent homogenization applied to the assessment of thermal conductivity: case of sugar cane bagasse fibers and moisture content effect
Auto-coherent homogenization is used to evaluate the thermal conductivity of sugar cane bagasse fibers in vegetable fibers/cement composites. The moisture content effect on the thermal conductivity...
Effect of Inert Plasticizers on Mechanical, Thermal, and Sensitivity Properties of Polyurethane‐based Plastic Bonded Explosives
Mechanical, thermal, and sensitivity properties of plastic bonded explosives (PBX) depend on the type of ingredients in their formulation. Aim of the work is to develop aluminized cast PBX...
Investigation of the Influence of Inert Solids on Ignition Sensitivity of Organic Powder
This work presents the results of the experimental characterization of the ignition sensitivity of solid inertant/combustible powders mixtures. Three inert solids (alumina, Kieselguhr, aerosil) and...
