A new methodology for mapping thermal diffusivity using a photothermal deflection method is introduced. Two case studies are made: fiber-reinforced composite structures and contact damage zones in alumina. In the former, characterization of thermal microstructural features is demonstrated; in the latter, microcrack density is quantified. Experimental data are analyzed and compared with literature results. Advantages and limitations of the technique are discussed.

Sorel cements is a promising building material for insulation applications. Indeed, the effect of polyvinyl acetate polymer on cements has been investigated. The polyvinyl acetate polymer was added to the cement matrix with a percentage of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% by weight of Sorel cement. The thermal properties of Sorel cement were determined by photothermal deflection technique. Thermal properties such as thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity are measured by coincidentally the experimental curves of the photothermal signal with the best corresponding theoretical curves. The results revealed that the incorporation of polyvinyl acetate polymer enhance the thermal insulation and reduce the compressive strength of Sorel cement.
