Calcium Aluminate Cements (CAC) are renowned in the field of construction for specific applications requiring rapid hardening and chemical resistance. These properties result from rapid exothermic reactions occurring immediately after setting. Due to the m ...
Metal borohydrides are potential materials for solid-state hydrogen due to their high gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen densities. Among them, Ca(BH4)2 is particularly interesting because of the predicted suitable thermodynamic properties. In this work, ...
Poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is the major polymer used for photovoltaic (PV) modules encapsulation. Its degree of cross-linking (related to its gel content) is taken as a major quality reference. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been p ...
New ionic liquid crystals (including ionic metallomesogens) based on the pyrrolidinium core are presented. N-Methylpyrrolidine was quaternized with different mesogenic groups connected to a flexible, ω-bromosubstituted alkyl spacer. The length of the flexi ...
In this study, the inclusion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes as the second phase in the hydroxyapatite matrix, in order to improve the mechanical strength, has been performed via the sol-gel process. The stability of carbon nanotube sol with the changes o ...
The technique of reaction calorimetry adapted for use with reactions in supercritical fluids was used to study some safety aspects of the free-radical dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in scCO2. The reaction heat rate profile was found to ch ...
Numerical calculations of the evaporation kinetics of bulk volatile liquids and of water from smectite clay granules are compared with experimental results. The weight loss of the volatiles is analyzed by thermogravimetry and differential calorimetry. Unde ...
This paper presents results of experimental investigations on the behaviour of GFRP pultruded profiles exposed to fire, in order to study the viability of their structural use in floors of buildings, taking into account the fulfilment of fire resistance re ...
According to the pre-qualification program for the production of Korean conductor for ITER TF magnet, a CICC(Cable In Conduit Conductor) sample for SULTAN test was developed based on the "Option 2" specification which is the improved one among the two esta ...
Temperature dependence of physical and mechanical properties is considered in most thermal and mechanical response models for composite materials. Based on thermogravimetry analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and dynamic mechanical analysis conduc ...
