Over the past several decades, research on anomalous thermal expansion materials has been rapidly growing, and increasing numbers of compounds exhibiting negative thermal expansion (NTE) have been reported. In particular, compounds with formula A2M3O12 have attracted considerable attention. A2M3O12 family materials offer a wide range of possible compositions due to the chemical flexibility of the A and M sites. According to published research, more than half of them possess NTE properties. This paper reviews the range of physical properties displayed by materials in the A2M3O12 family. Research on improving material imperfections and controlling the coefficient of thermal expansion in the A2M3O12 family are systematically summarized. Finally, challenges and questions about the developments of these A2M3O12 NTE compounds in future studies are also discussed.

Hygroscopic and thermal expansion behavior of advanced polymers is investigated when subjected to combined high temperature and moisture conditions. An enhanced experimental–numerical hybrid procedure is proposed to overcome the limitations of the existing methods when used at temperatures above the water boiling temperature. The proposed procedure is implemented to measure the hygrothermal strains of three epoxy molding compounds and a no-filler underfill over a wide range of temperatures including temperatures beyond the water boiling temperature. The effects of moisture content on the glass transition temperature (Tg) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) are evaluated from the measurement data. A formulation to predict the Tg change as a function of moisture content is also presented.

A challenge in nano- and micro-mechanics is the realization of innovative materials exploiting auxetic behaviour to tailor thermal expansion properties. For this purpose, a new class of micro-structured media possessing an extremely wide range of tunable (positive, negative or even zero) thermal expansion is proposed and analytically and experimentally assessed. For this class of isotropic Mechanical-Auxetic Thermal-Shrinking media, the effective coefficient of thermal expansion is explicitly linked to two microstructural variables via a simple relation, allowing the design with desired values. The theoretical predictions for the negative thermal properties are fully validated by the experimental and numerical outcomes. The simplicity of the proposed structure makes the design useful for the production of a new generation of advanced media, with applications ranging from micromechanical devices to large civil and space structures.

Anomalous Thermal Expansion

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) materials and structures exhibit the anomalous property of shrinking rather than expanding when heated. This work examines the potential of multi-material planar re-entrant and non-re-entrant honeycombs to exhibit anomalous thermal expansion properties. Expressions for the coefficient of thermal expansion as a function of the geometric parameters and intrinsic thermal expansion properties were derived for any in-plane direction. It was shown that re-entrant honeycombs, a metamaterial which is well known for its auxetic characteristics, can be made to exhibit NTE in specific directions when constructed from conventional positive thermal expansion (PTE) materials, provided that the slanting ligaments expand more than the vertical ligaments when heated and that the geometry is amenable. Conversely, it was shown that the construction of such honeycombs from NTE components will not necessarily result in a system which exhibits NTE in all directions. Furthermore, conditions which result in honeycombs demonstrating zero thermal expansion (ZTE) coefficients in specific directions were also explored.

The thermal characterization and analysis of composite materials has been increasingly important in a wide range of applications. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is one of the most important properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs). Since nearly all MMCs are used in various temperature ranges, measurement of CTE as a function of temperature is necessary in order to know the behavior of the material. In this research paper, the evaluation of CTE or thermal expansivity has been accomplished for Al 6061, silicon carbide and graphite hybrid MMCs from room temperature to [Formula: see text]C. Aluminium-based composites reinforced with silicon carbide and graphite particles have been prepared by stir casting technique. The thermal expansivity behavior of hybrid composites with different percentage compositions of reinforcements has been investigated. The results have indicated that the thermal expansivity of different compositions of hybrid MMCs decrease by the addition of graphite with silicon carbide and Al 6061. Empirical models have been validated for the evaluation of thermal expansivity of composites. Numerical convergence test has been accomplished to investigate the thermal expansion behavior of composites.

High-temperature dilatometric studies on (Pb1−xCax)TiO3 (x = 0.35, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45) ferroelectric ceramics reveal negative thermal expansion for x ≤ 0.40. The negative thermal expansion coefficient for x = 0.30, as obtained by dilatometry and powder x-ray diffraction, were found to be −8.541 × 10−6 K−1 and −11 × 10−6 K−1, respectively, which are comparable to those of other well-known negative thermal expansion materials like ZrW2O8, NaZr2(PO4)3. Results of temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction studies are also presented to show that the large negative thermal expansion behavior for x = 0.30 persists in a very wide range of temperatures, 70–570 K. Ca2+ substitution reduces the value of the negative thermal expansion coefficient of pure PbTiO3 crystal, but it enables the preparation of strong sintered ceramic bodies. The negative thermal expansion behavior is shown to disappear above the ferroelectric Curie point and is restricted to only the tetragonal compositions of (Pb1−xCax)TiO3.
