Thermal Conductivity of Polymers, Glasses & Ceramics by Modulated Dsc
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study describes a new method for the measurement of thermal conductivity of insulating materials in the range from 0.1 to 1.5 W/°C m which generally covers polymers, ceramics and glasses. The method is based on Modulated DSC and includes no modification or additions to the apparatus itself. One additional calibration step is required to compensate for heat loss through the inert purge gas surrounding the test specimen. Best case precision is on the order of 2% with mean values compared to literature values within 1%. While work to date includes only temperatures near ambient, measurements above and below ambient seem possible. Further work is also currently in progress to evaluate the applicability of this method to a broader range of materials.

Microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties of chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics based on Se-As-Ge system nucleated by Sn
In particular, chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics are new materials that exhibit good transparency in infrared region (0.8-12µm). We can overcome the main weakness of these glasses by improving the hardness through controlling crystallization. In this paper, we report results of a study on chalcogenide glasses in the ternary system of As-Se-Ge with nominal composition of Snx (Se...
