The thermal diffusivity of natural rubber

The Cyclization of Natural Rubber

The effects of solvent, temperature, time, weight percent of catalyst on the rate and mechanism of cyclization of natural rubber (NR) was studied in toluene and xylene solutions having tin tetra chloride catalyst (SnCl4). Iodometric titration show, with 8% SnCl4 (based on polymer weight) cyclization occurs, leaving 27.4% of the total unsaturation. Infrared spectra of c...

Thermal Diffusivity of Ceramics During Neutron Irradiation

Measurement Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Diffusivity of Chromium Nanofluids

In this study, nanofluids of Chromium (Cr) in water, Ethylene Glycol and Ethanol have been prepared using single step method. The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of these nanofluids were measured via hot wire-photothermal deflection technique. Based on finite difference method (FDM) temperature distribution and photothermal deflection caused by the hot wire inside nanofluids was obtained. ...

Novel Measurement of Anisotropic Thermal Diffusivity

We describe a method for the measurement of thermal diffusivity of anisotropic materials. The technique uses a single pulse of light from a flashlamp on the front surface of a slap of material, part of which is shadowed by a rectangular mask. By fitting the measured rear surface temperature distributions as a function of time and space to a theoretical model, we obtain the thermal diffusivities...
