Abstract The optical and physical properties of Paraplex P43, Castolite, and epoxy resin Hysol 6000-OP, which are potentially of interest in photothermoelastic investigations, were investigated over a temperature range from +100 to −60 F. Results on the thermal-expansion coefficient, the material fringe value, and the modulus of elasticity as functions of temperature are presented. Also evaluated were thermal properties of importance in heat conduction. Photothermoelastic figures of merit, which rate the optical sensitivity of materials in photothermoelastic applications, as well as a new method to determine this figure in a relative manner are presented.

This paper focused on the epoxy resin/inorganic filler composites. The electrical and thermal properties of the composites were tested and analyzed at room temperature. The influence of temperature on the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient was studied. Based on the electrical and thermal properties of the composites, the simulation model of the fully enclosed epoxy resin casting bus bar (FEERCB) was built, and the temperature field distribution of the FEERCB was calculated. T The study results showed that the volume resistivity, dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and breakdown strength of the epoxy resin/inorganic filler composites were 1.74×1014Ω·cm, 3.44, 3.75 and 22.31 kV/mm respectively at room temperature. The thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of the composites were 2.55 W/m·K and 21.73×10-6 /°C, achieved the insulation requirements for FEERCB. In the temperature range of the test, with increasing temperature, the thermal conductivity reduced gradually, while the thermal expansion coefficient increased gradually. The simulation results showed that the FEERCB has remarkable performance on the heat dissipation and current carrying capability.

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.

The linear thermal expansion coefficient a from 2 to 100 K and heat capacity per gram cp from 0�3 to 30 K are reported for fully-stabilized zirconia containing a nominal 16 wt.% (9 mol.%) of yttria. The heat capacity below 7 K has been analysed into a linear (tunnelling?) term, a Schottky term centred at 1�2 K, a Debye term (e~ = 540 K), and a small T5 contribution. The expansion coefficient is roughly proportional to T from 5 to 20 K and gives a limiting lattice Griineisen parameter 'Yo ::::: 5, which agrees with that calculated from elastic data.

AbstractWe made various nitride fuels containing simulated FP elements and evaluated the effect of these FP elements on the properties of the nitrides. For Uranium Neodymium nitride solid solution the lattice parameter increased with Nd content, thermal expansion coefficient did not change and thermal conductivity decreased with Nd content. The thermal expansion for Pd containing UN, where Pd precipitated as UPd3 in the grain boundaries of UN, was nearly the same as that of UN and the thermal conductivity for Pd containing in the UN matrix decreased with Pd content. For Mo containing UN Mo precipitated as Mo metal isotropically. Both the thermal expansion and thermal conductivity did not vary with Mo content This might result from the low Mo contents at these simulated burnups.

The enhancement of physical properties of porous honeycomb filter for air purification was investigated using cordierite with the addition of pore former and zirconia additive. Because cordierite honeycomb has porous body, binder formulation was varied using graphite for a pore forming agent as well as lubricating agent during the extrusion process. Also, the effect of zirconia additives on the resultant physical properties of honeycomb filter such as porosity, thermal expansion coefficient and mechanical strength was investigated.

Promoting of mullite generation has been studied by replacing kaolinite with pyrophyllite because of mullite has excellent strength and thermal shock resistance. Effects of promoting of mullite generation and vitrification by replacing kaolinite with pyrophyllite on the mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. Addition of 45-55% pyrophyllite as a replacement of kaolinite (pyrophyllite (45-55%)-feldspar (30%)-clay (20%)) could vitrify samples (water absorption: 0.05%, bulk density: 2.66g/cm3) and improve the strength (122MPa) of samples fired at 1280°C. In ternary porcelain system, pyrophyllite-feldspar-clay, mullite generation of samples with 50% pyrophyllite reaches about 78.7% and thermal expansion coefficient is 5.4×10-6/K. Beyond 50% pyrophyllite addition, quartz and cristobalite phases increased. And thermal expansion coefficient of samples decreased with increasing of mullite amount.
