According to the theory of phonon transport and thermal expansion, a new complex rare-earth zirconate ceramic (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7, with low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion coefficient, has been designed by doping proper ions at A sites. The complex rare-earth zirconate (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7 powder for thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was synthesized by coprecipitation-calcination method. The phase, microstructure and thermal properties of the new material were investigated. The results revealed that single phase (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7 with pyrochlore structure was synthesized. The thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion coefficient of the designed complex rare-earth zirconate ceramic is about 1.3W/m•K and 10.5×10-6/K, respectively. These results imply that (La0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2Zr2O7 can be explored as the candidate material for the ceramic layer in TBCs system.

Compression behavior of carbon nanotube bundles and individual carbon nanotubes within the bundle has been studied by using the Suzuki, Shanker, and usual Tait formulations. It is found that the Suzuki formulation is not capable of explaining the compression behavior of nanomaterials. Shanker formulation slightly improves the results obtained by the Suzuki formulation, but only usual Tait’s equation (UTE) of state gives results in agreement to the experimental data. The present study reveals that the product of bulk modules and the coefficient of volume thermal expansion remain constant for carbon nanotubes. It has also been found that the individual carbon nanotubes are less compressible than bundles of carbon nanotubes.

Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) and its varieties have applications in thermographic phosphors, lasing mediums, and thermal barriers. In this work, thermal properties of crystalline YAG where aluminum atoms are substituted with gallium atoms (Y3(Al1−xGax)5O12) are explored with molecular dynamics simulations. For YAG at 300K, the simulations gave values close to experimental values for constant-pressure specific heat, thermal expansion, and bulk thermal conductivity. For various values of x, the simulations predicted no change in thermal expansion, an increase in specific heat, and a decrease in thermal conductivity for x = 50%. Furthermore, the simulations predicted a decrease in thermal conductivity with decreasing system size.

This paper describes a closed-form unit cell micromechanical model for estimating the effective thermal conductivities of unidirectional carbon nanotube reinforced polymer nanocomposites. The model incorporates the typically observed misalignment and curvature of carbon nanotubes into the polymer nanocomposites. Also, the interfacial thermal resistance between the carbon nanotube and the polymer matrix is considered in the nanocomposite simulation. The micromechanics model is seen to produce reasonable agreement with available experimental data for the effective thermal conductivities of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with different carbon nanotube volume fractions. The results indicate that the thermal conductivities are strongly dependent on the waviness wherein, even a slight change in the carbon nanotube curvature can induce a prominent change in the polymer nanocomposite thermal conducting behavior. In general, the carbon nanotube curvature improves the nanocomposite thermal conductivity in the transverse direction. However, using the straight carbon nanotubes leads to maximum levels of axial thermal conductivities. With the increase in carbon nanotube diameter, an enhancement in nanocomposite transverse thermal conductivity is observed. Also, the results of micromechanical simulation show that it is necessary to form a perfectly bonded interface if the full potential of carbon nanotube reinforcement is to be realized.

The primary pyroelectric transition temperature of wurtzite nitrides (AlN, GaN and InN) has been explored theoretically from their thermal properties. The spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization modifies the thermal conductivity of nitrides. The thermal conductivity [Formula: see text] as a function of temperature including and excluding the polarization mechanism predicts a transition temperature [Formula: see text] between primary and secondary pyroelectric effects. Below [Formula: see text], thermal conductivity including polarization field [Formula: see text] is lesser than thermal conductivity excluding polarization field [Formula: see text]. This is due to negative thermal expansion in binary nitrides below [Formula: see text]; however, above [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] is significantly contributed by piezoelectric polarization above [Formula: see text] due to thermal expansion which is the reason for the secondary pyroelectric effect. The transition temperature [Formula: see text] for AlN, GaN and InN has been predicted as 100 K, 70 K and 60 K, respectively, which fit well with the prior literature studies. This report proposes that thermal properties’ study can reveal the role of acoustic phonons in pyroelectricity.

ABSTRACTThe thermal conductivities of pillared-graphene nanostructures (PGNSs) are obtained using nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulation. It is revealed their thermal conductivities are much smaller than the thermal conductivities of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This fact is explained by examining the density of states (DOS) of the local phonons of PGNSs. It is also found the thermal conductivity of a PGNS linearly decreases with the increase of the inter-pillar distance.

Kinetic spray deposition provides a new means for producing composite materials with tailored physical properties. We report on measurements of the thermal conductivity and thermal-expansion coefficient for several compositional variations of kinetically sprayed Al–SiC metal-matrix composites. As a result of the deposition process, inclusion of SiC particles saturates in the 30–40% volume fraction range.

This paper presents the effects of incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNT) into nylon 6 on thermal properties and fire performance of woven glass reinforced CNT/nylon 6 nanocomposite laminates. Incorporation of CNT in nylon 6 improved the thermal stabilities, thermal conductivity and fire performance of laminates without compromising their mechanical properties. The thermal conductivity of laminates with 2 wt% CNT increased up to 42% compared to that without CNT. The ignition time and peak HRR time was delayed approx. 31% and 118%, respectively, in laminates with 4 wt% CNT in nylon 6 over that without CNT.
