Increasing the thermal conductivity of styrene butadiene rubber: insights from molecular dynamics simulation

Thermal conductivity calculation of magnetite using molecular dynamics simulation

In the current research, thermal conductivity of magnetite (Fe3O4) has been calculated using molecular dynamic simulation. The rNEMD Molecular Dynamics Method provided in the LMMPS package is used for the simulation of the thermal conductivity. The effects of magnetite layer size and temperature on the thermal conductivity have been investigated. The numerical results have...

Environmental epidemiologic investigations in the styrene-butadiene rubber production industry.

A review of the literature and an update that is in progress of a previous retrospective cohort mortality study of the styrene-1,3-butadiene industry are discussed. The follow-up has now been extended from April 1, 1976, through December 31, 1981, for plant B and December 31, 1982, for plant A. The person-years at risk of death have gone from 34,187 to 43,341 in plant A and from 19,742 to 26,31...

Minimum superlattice thermal conductivity from molecular dynamics

The dependence of superlattice thermal conductivity on period length is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation. For perfectly lattice matched superlattices, a minimum is observed when the period length is of the order of the effective phonon mean free path. As temperature decreases and interatomic potential strength increases, the position of the minimum shifts to larger period lengths. ...

The efficiency of a thermoelectric material is measured by the figure of merit ZT, which is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity. Superlattice structures often have a reduced thermal conductivity because of the intr...
