Thick-Film Resistors (TFR) are applied for many years for the manufacturing of ceramic electronic packages as well as for mechanical or thermal sensors. The resistors characteristics (e.g. Rsqr, HTCR, CTCR) are guaranteed by paste suppliers for a thermal range of operation between −55 and 125°C. However, specific sensor applications require higher operation temperatures of up to 500°C. In the paper the results of the characterization of commercial TFR at elevated temperatures on alumina substrates are presented. Electrical characteristics (e.g. Rsqr, HTCR, CTCR, GF) are correlated with materials characteristics (TFR thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, microstructure). Different requirements are discussed regarding an improved high temperature applicability of TFR. Advantages and limits of the commercial TFR will be presented.

α-Glucans that were enzymatically synthesized from sucrose using glucansucrase cloned from Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1118 were found to have a glass transition temperature of approximately 80 °C. Using high-pressure homogenization (~70 MPa), the α-glucans were converted into nanoparticles of ~120 nm in diameter with a surface potential of ~−3 mV. Fluorescence measurements using 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) indicate that the α-glucan nanoparticles have a hydrophobic core that remains intact from 10 to 85 °C. α-Glucan nanoparticles were found to be stable for over 220 days and able to form at three pH levels. Accelerated exposure measurements demonstrated that the α-glucan nanoparticles can endure exposure to elevated temperatures up to 60 °C for 6 h intervals.

This paper presents results from a preliminary laboratory investigation that was carried out in order to determine the suitability of Kuwaiti standard 60/70pen grade bitumen for blending with locally sourced discarded tyre derived crumb rubber. High temperature blending was trialled using three types of truck tyres at 7.5%, 15% and 30% rubber content by mass of bitumen. A number of basic characterization tests were carried out including; penetration, softening point, viscosity, tension-relaxation, solvent extraction and glass transition temperature determination. Overall, the results indicate that regardless of the tyre type, blending up to 30% rubber at the correct temperature and blending time can produce a rheologically improved binder that has potential to withstand the extreme asphalt road surfacing temperatures sustained during the hot summer seasons in the State of Kuwait.

The article presents results of studies of experimental carbon plastics based on thermosetting PMRpolyimide binder. Сarbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are made from prepregs prepared by melt and mortar technologies, so the rheological properties of the polyimide binder were investigated. The heat resistance of carbon plastics was researched and its elastic-strength characteristics were determined at temperatures up to 320°С. The fundamental possibility of manufacturing carbon fiber from prepregs based on polyimide binder, obtained both by melt and mortar technologies, is shown. CFRPs made from two types of prepregs have a high glass transition temperature: 364°C (melt) and 367°C (solution), with this temperature remaining at the 97% level after boiling, and also at approximately the same (86–97%) level of conservation of elastic strength properties at temperature 300°С.

Abstract Viscoelastic behavior of linear segmented elastomers was examined. The unusual properties found in spandex systems are also observable in hydrocarbon block co-polymers, indicating that hydrogen bonding interactions are perhaps not essential. Low temperature properties of segmented systems are governed by the structural nature of the associated flexible segments, which determines the value of the major glass transition temperature (Tg). It appears that an association of the hard segments provides a broad temperature range of enhanced rubbery modulus. This occurs between the major Tg and a secondary high temperature transition.

Experimental results on tensile mechanics properties of GFRP bars at high temperatures are present in this paper. Thirty commercially produced GFRP tensile specimens of 8mm diameter were tested at high temperature ranging from 10°Cup to 500°C. Tensile test result indicates that, the ultimate tensile stress has significant reduction at two temperature zones, one is glass transition temperature of epoxy resin (80-120°C), with strength degradation 22%, the second is the soften temperature of glass fibers(about 400°C), the strength decrease drastically with almost linear rate and remained 33% residual strength at 500°C. The elastic modulus remained unchanged until glass transition temperature of epoxy resin, and the modulus declined linearly with the temperature elevating. Stress-strain relationships of GFRP bars exhibit liner performance even at high temperatures.

I propose a model of a material that exhibits negative thermal expansion (NTE) properties and criteria for the occurrence of linear and volumetric NTE. I derived the criteria for an arbitrary force between rigid units in the material. These criteria are also discussed specifically for the Lennard–Jones (6–12) potential and in more detail for metal–organic framework (MOF) materials comprising rigid units connected by organic linkers. Qualitatively, the model predictions can explain some observed results. Surprisingly, the model can produce equations for the transition temperature from NTE to positive thermal expansion (PTE), [Formula: see text] K, which is exactly the same as the temperature at which the glass transition begins to occur in most polymers, i.e., [Formula: see text] K.

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.
