The excellent thermal and chemical properties of cubic boron nitride (cBN) indicate that it is potential materials to prepare the thermal dissipate substrate applied in the electronic packaging. The thermal properties of polycrystalline cBN ceramics, however, have not been fully investigated. We report the first sintering experiment on preparing polycrystalline cBN ceramics using cBN powder as starting material without any sintering aids. The microstructure and high bending strength show that the strong combination was achieved among the crystal grains. The measured results, including density, thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient, reveal that the properties of this ceramics depend on the grain size of starting crystal cBN. The PcBN ceramics has low thermal expansion coefficient extremely matching to that of silicon and exhibits moderate thermal conductivity due to its low density and the existence of low thermal conductive phase of hexagonal boron nitride.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Composites are special material which can provide individual properties such as high strength with low density or good thermal conductivity with low thermal expansion coefficient. Composites conform to the constantly evolving and more complex expectations. In order to make a product with good quality, it is important to choose suitable materials and technology. In this research powder metallurgy (PM), as one of the most common composite manufacturing technology, was examined -which factors and mechanisms influence mostly the properties of the product. Ishikawa method was used to reveal these correlations.

In this paper, negative thermal expansion coefficient eucryptite powders were prepared by sol-gel method using silica-sol as starting material. The raw blocks were obtained by dry pressing process after the powder was synthesized, and then the raw blocks were heat-treated at 600º, 1150º, 1280º, 1380º, 1420º and 1450°C, respectively. Variations of density, porosity and thermal expansion coefficient at different heat treatment temperatures were investigated. Phase transformation and fracture surface morphology of eucryptite heat-treated at different temperatures, respectively, were observed by XRD and SEM. The results indicate that, with the increasing heat- treatment temperature, the grain size and the bending strength increased, porosity decreased, thermal expansion coefficient decreased continuously. Negative thermal expansion coefficient of -5.3162×10-6~-7.4413×10-6 (0~800°C) was obtained. But when the heat-treatment temperature was more than 1420°C, porosity began to increase, bending strength began to decrease, which were the symbols of over-burning, while the main crystal phase didn’t change.

Two types of mullite-Al2O3 composites were designed and sintered in situ from different composition containing Al composites e.g. kaolin, alumina hydroxide and calcined bauxite etc, and auxiliary additives. The phase composition and microstructure were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques. Bulk density, apparent porosity, thermal expansion coefficient and bending strength were also measured. The two samples exhibited XRD reflections characteristic of alumina and mullite phases. The amount of these phases depended on starting batch compositions, and reaction of starting and auxiliary materials together to form mullite. Because of in-situ formation of mullite fiber, the bulk density and bending strength were improved and apparent porosity was decreased for the composites with uniform microstructure. The presence of high mullite phase was found to decrease the thermal expansion coefficient. The potential effect of these morphologies and phase on properties was discussed. These mullite-Al2O3 composite was expected to have major applications in the areas of refractory material.
