Numerical analysis of phase change materials/wood–plastic composite roof module system for improving thermal performance
Using phase change materials (PCMs) to store and release latent heat is one of the most efficient and reliable ways to reduce energy consumption. In this study, a PCM/wood–plastic composite (WPC)...
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...
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
dendritic-shaped copper(Cu)-graphite (Gr) fillers were experimentally investigated and...
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...
