The thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of the copper element, which is widely used in the electronics industry, is quite high. It is of great importance to decrease the CTE value in order not to deform against the heat it is exposed to. In this study, it is aimed to theoretically examine the changes in CTE value when SiC supplement is applied to pure copper. For this purpose, CTE value calculations were made according to Kerner and Turner's models for composites that were reinforced at different rates by volume. Sample studies in the literature have been utilized for percent component ratios. In this context, the amount of reinforcement was adjusted to be 5, 10, 15, and 20vol.% by volume. According to the findings, it was observed that there was ̴ %4-17 decrease in CTE value based on the Kerner model and ̴ %7-26 decrease based on the Turner model.

A new method is used in measuring the linear thermal expansion coefficients in composite consisting of a substrate Gd3Ga2Ga3O12 (GGG) and its epitaxial layer Y3Fe2Fe3O12 (YIG) within the temperature range 13.88 °C–32.50 °C. The results show that the thermal expansion coefficient of GGG in composite is larger than that of the GGG in single crystal; the thermal expansion coefficient of thick film YIG is also larger than that of thin film. The results also show that the thermal expansion coefficient of a composite consisting of film and its substrate can be measured by using a new method.

In this paper, a device with high accuracy capacitive sensor (with the error of 0.1 micrometer) is constructed to measure the axial thermal expansion coefficent of the twisted carbon fibers and yarns of Kevlar. A theoretical model based on the thermal elasticity and the geometrical features of the twisted structure is also presented to predict the axial expansion coefficient. It is found that the twist angle, diameter and pitch have remarkable influences on the axial thermal expansion coefficients of the twisted carbon fibers and Kevlar strands, and the calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data. We found that, with the increase of the twist angle, the absolute value of the axial thermal expansion coefficient increases. For the Kevlar samples, the expansion coefficient will grow by about 46% when the twist angle increases from 0 to 25 degrees, while the carbon fiber samples will grow by about 72% when the twist angle increases from 0 to 35 degrees. The experimental measurements and the model calculations reveal important properties of the thermal expansion in the twisted structures. Most notably, the expansion of the strand during heating or cooling can be zero when the twist angle is around β = arcsin(αL/αT)^1/2, where β denotes twist angle of the strand and αL, αT are the longitute and the transverse thermal expansion coefficient of the strand, respectively. According to the present experiments and analyses, a method to control the axial thermal expansion coefficient of this new kind of twisted structure is proposed. Moreover, the mechanism of this tunable thermal expansion is discussed. Based on the model, a method that can be used to rectify the thermal expansion properties of the twist structures is established. This may be a new way of fabricating zero expansion composite materials in the future.

Copper matrix composite with pure copper matrix reinforced with high modulus carbon fibres Thornel K 1100 was prepared by gas pressure infiltration technique. As-received composite was subjected to thermal expansion and thermal conductivity measurements in longitudinal and transversal directions. Large anisotropy of properties as well as surprisingly good structural stability has been observed. The mean coefficients of thermal expansion as low as 0.8 x 10-6 K-1 in longitudinal and as high as 23.5 x 10-6 K-1 in transversal directions were determined, the thermal conductivities as high as 650 Wm-1K-1 in longitudinal direction and as low as 60.7 Wm-1K-1in transversal directions were measured.

The Debye–Scherrer pattern of the alloy Ni80Zr20 clearly shows the presence of a nickel solid-solution phase along with a new intermetallic phase Ni23Zr6, which seems to be isostructural with the Co23Zr6 phase. The thermal expansion coefficient of the Ni23Zr6 phase has been investigated in the temperature range 1003–1493 K. Linear variation of lattice parameter with temperature has been observed. The thermal expansion coefficient remains almost constant throughout this temperature interval.

AbstractThe thermal expansion coefficient is an important thermal parameter that influences the performance of nanodevices based on two-dimensional materials. To obtain the thermal expansion coefficient of few-layer MoS2, suspended MoS2 and supported MoS2 were systematically investigated using Raman spectroscopy in the temperature range from 77 to 557 K. The temperature-dependent evolution of the Raman frequency shift for suspended MoS2 exhibited prominent differences from that for supported MoS2, obviously demonstrating the effect due to the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between MoS2 and the substrate. The intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients of MoS2 with different numbers of layers were calculated. Interestingly, negative thermal expansion coefficients were obtained below 175 K, which was attributed to the bending vibrations in the MoS2 layer during cooling. Our results demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is a feasible tool for investigating the thermal properties of few-layer MoS2 and will provide useful information for its further application in photoelectronic devices.

<p align="justify">A utilização de óleos vegetais residuais como fonte de energia alternativa vem ganhando espaço investigativo no Brasil, principalmente na produção de biocombustíveis e de misturas combustíveis com óleo diesel. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo estimar o coeficiente de expansão térmica de misturas de óleo diesel (OD) e óleo de soja residual (OSR) a partir da modelagem matemática de dados da massa específica em função da temperatura. As misturas estudadas foram: mistura 1 (25% OSR + 75% OD), mistura 2 (50% OSR + 50% OD) e mistura 3 (75% OSR + 25% OD). O intervalo de temperatura considerado foi de 25 a 90ºC. Para a estimativa do coeficiente de expansão térmica foi realizada uma análise de regressão linear. Os valores do coeficiente de expansão térmica encontrados foram 7,7508 x 10-4ºC-1 (para a mistura 1), 8,3355 x 10-4ºC-1 (para a mistura 2) e 8,2249 x 10-4ºC-1(para a mistura 3). Nas análises de regressão linear, os coeficientes de correlação foram próximos da unidade, indicando que para cada mistura a correlação é classificada como muito forte. A ausência na literatura de valores do coeficiente de expansão térmica para misturas OD + OSR dificultou a comparação com os valores encontrados.</p><p align="justify">Abstract</p><p align="justify">The use of residual vegetable oils as an alternative energy source is gaining momentum investigative in Brazil, mainly in the production of biofuels and blends with Diesel oil. This study aimed to estimative the thermal expansion coefficient of mixtures of Diesel oil (DO) and residual soybean oil (RSO) from the mathematical modeling of data of specific weight as a function of temperature.

A linear regression analysis was performed to estimative the values of the thermal expansion coefficient. The thermal expansion coefficients were 7.7508 x 10-4 ºC-1 (for the mixture 1), 8.3355 x 10-4 ºC-1 (for the mixture 2) and 8.2249 x 10-4 ºC-1 (for the mixture 3). In linear regression analysis, the correlation coefficients were close to unity, indicating that the correlation for each mixture is classified as very strong. The absence in the literature of the thermal expansion coefficients of the mixtures DO + RSO made it difficult the comparing with the values found.</p>

The nano-SiC whisker reinforced Cu-matrix composites (SiCw/Cu) were obtained by powder metallurgy processes. The electrical arc ablation performance of composite SiCw/Cu was compared with copper H62 through stagnation-point ablation experiments. The results indicated that the qualities of copper H62 samples decreased with the increasing of ablating current; and the qualities of SiCw/Cu samples firstly increased and then decreased with the increasing of ablating current. Ablation mechanism research indicates the ablation hole of SiCw/Cu is smaller than copper H62, but it produced micro cracks because of different thermal expansion coefficients between nano-SiC whisker and Cu-matrix. At the same time, nano-SiC whisker happens to intricate oxidation reaction during arc ablation, it can reduce Cu-matrix smelts and sprays by absorbing arc energy. The anchoring effect and protection for the copper matrix of the uniformly dispersing nano-SiC whiskers have been considered to contribute the excellent arc ablation performance of composite SiCw/Cu.
