The objective of our investigations consists in the thermal characterization of SiO2-PbO-Na2O vitreous materials in order to establish their properties for applications mainly as sealants. In order to evaluate the vitreous material − metal adherence, the thermal expansion coefficients (α) from experimental and theoretic data were determined. The differential thermal analysis of studied materials give the information about temperatures characteristic to glass transition, crystallization and melting. Dilatometer measurements were performed in air atmosphere in order to establish thermal coefficients of the materials. Softening and flowing characteristic of the vitreous materials were established by heating microscope measurements. The difference between thermal expansion coefficient (α) of the vitreous materials (10.2 × 10−6K−1 and 17.6 × 10−6K−1) and thermal expansion coefficient of the steel substrate OL 38 (10.8 × 10−6K−1) is under 37%. This value is fit for a good adherence between materials.

Nickel sulfide inclusions have been implicated in the spontaneous fracture of large windows of tempered plate glass. Two alternative explanations for the fracture-initiating behaviour of these inclusions have been proposed: (1) the volume increase which accompanies the α to β phase transformation in stoichiometric NiS, and (2) the thermal expansion mismatch between the nickel sulfide phases and the glass matrix. The microstructure and microchemistry of the small inclusions (80 to 250 μm spheres), needed to determine the cause of fracture, have not been well characterized hitherto. The aim of this communication is to report a detailed TEM and EDS study of the inclusions.

This study highlights the thermal characterization of ABS-Graphene blended three dimensional (3D) printed functional prototypes by fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. These functional prototypes have some applications as electro-chemical energy storage devices (EESD). Initially, the suitability of ABS-Graphene composite material for FDM applications has been examined by melt flow index (MFI) test. After establishing MFI, the feedstock filament for FDM has been prepared by an extrusion process. The fabricated filament has been used for printing 3D functional prototypes for printing of in-house EESD. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis was conducted to understand the effect on glass transition temperature with the inclusion of Graphene (Gr) particles. It has been observed that the reinforced Gr particles act as a thermal reservoir (sink) and enhances its thermal/electrical conductivity. Also, FT-IR spectra realized the structural changes with the inclusion of Gr in ABS matrix. The results are supported by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based micrographs for understanding the morphological changes.
