A high-quality Ba2TiSi2O8 (BTS) single crystal was grown using the Czochralski (Cz) pulling method. The thermal expansion and electro-elastic properties of BTS crystal were studied for high temperature sensor applications. The relative dielectric permittivities ε 11 T / ε 0 and ε 33 T / ε 0 were determined to be 16.3 and 11.8, while the piezoelectric coefficients d15, d31, d33 were found to be 17.8, 2.9, and 4.0 pC/N, respectively. Temperature dependence of electro-elastic properties were investigated, where the variation of elastic compliance s 55 E (= s 44 E ) was found to be <6% over temperature range of 20–700 °C. Taking advantage of the anisotropic thermal expansion, linear thermal expansion comparable to insulating alumina ceramic was achieved over temperature range up to 650 °C. The optimum crystal cut with large effective piezoelectric coefficient (>8.5 pC/N) and linear thermal expansion coefficient (8.03 ppm/°C) achieved for BTS crystal along the (47°, φ) direction (φ is arbitrary in 0–360°), together with its good temperature stability up to 650 °C, make BTS crystal a promising candidate for high temperature piezoelectric sensors.

A lattice thermal expansion study on Li2NiMn3O8, a high-voltage cathode material for lithium-ion batteries, was carried out by high-temperature X-ray diffraction from room temperature to 973 K. Rietveld refinement of a high-quality room-temperature diffraction pattern confirmed that Li2NiMn3O8 has the cubic Al2MgO4 spinel type of crystal structure. The analysis of the high-temperature X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the Li2NiMn3O8 structure remained stable and no phase transition was detected over the temperature range from 298 to 973 K. As expected, the value of lattice parameter a or unit cell volume V increases with increasing temperature. The increase in a or V is linear only in the low-temperature region and nonlinear over the entire temperature range from 298 to 973 K. Least-squares analysis of the data for a or V showed the thermal expansion of a or V for Li2NiMn3O8 can best be fitted by a 3-degree polynomial function of temperature. The linear thermal expansion coefficients for a and V averaged over the entire temperature range from 298 to 973 K were also calculated, and αTa=1.10×10−5 K−1; αTV=3.29×10−5 K−1.

High temperature sensors are desired for down-hole well monitoring, future propulsion components, as well as improving performance and maintainability of power production facilities and other rotary combustion engines. Recently discovered high temperature oxyborate crystals showed stable piezoelectric properties and high resistivity at temperatures close to its melting point (∼ 1500°C, or 2730°F ), which is very promising for high temperature sensor applications. In this paper the feasibility of using oxyborate based high temperature piezoelectric crystal (HTPC) for high temperature piezoelectric sensor applications is demonstrated. Oxyborate HTPC with various crystal cuts and vibration modes were investigated to obtain high temperature resistivity, dielectric, piezoelectric and thermal expansion properties. YCa4O(BO3)3 crystals (YCOB) showed excellent piezoelectricity, low dielectric loss and high resistivity at temperatures up to 1000°C (&gt; 1800°F). The measured thermal expansion coefficients of YCOB are about ∼3–8 ppm/K, depending on different orientations. High temperature accelerometers were demonstrated using YCOB HTPC at temperatures up to 1000°C with sensitivity remaining steady (∼ 2.4 pC/g) across the temperature range of 20°C-1000°C.

ZrW2O8 was successfully synthesized via combustion method with (NH4)5H5[H2(WO4)6] ·H2O, ZrOCl2·8H2O, H3BO3, (NH2)2CO and HNO3. The best prescription of combustion synthesizing of ZrW2O8 was obtained. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of synthesized ZrW2O8 is -5.08×10-6oC-1 in the temperature range of 50-600oC. Different weight ratios of ZrW2O8 and ZrO2 were taken into account. Al2O3 was added into the composite during sintering to increase the density of the composites. When the weight ratio of ZrO2 to ZrW2O8 is 2, the composite with near zero thermal expansion can be obtained. 0.25 wt% Al2O3 can effectively increase the density of ZrO2/ZrW2O8 composites with slight influence on the thermal expansion property.

The article presents results of thermo-mechanical analysis of heterogeneous solid rocket propellant H2, with special attention devoted to determining the glass transition temperature and softening temperature. Mechanical properties such as storage modulus (E’), loss modulus (E’’) and tan(δ) were measured using NETZSCH DMA 242C analyzer within temperature range from -120oC to +80oC at 2 K/min of heating rate and frequency of applied force f = 1 Hz. Relative thermal expansion as well as the Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CLTE) of H2 sample were determined using NETZSCH DIL 402C dilatometer within temperature range from 30oC to 80oC at 1 K/min of heating/cooling rate. The thermophysical properties including thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat were determined within temperature range from -20oC to +80oC using KD2 Pro apparatus.
