 Thermal behavior is expected to be an important design consideration for the next generation of microprocessors. Most dynamic thermal management techniques are based on the principle of ‘reactive throttling’, where some form of performance throttling (such as voltage or frequency scaling) is invoked, after a pre-architected temperature threshold has been exceeded. As such, there is performanc...

Paraloid-Mg(OH)2 nanocomposites were synthesized via sonochemical method. Nanostructures were characterized by XRD and SEM. Thermal stability behavior of paraloid filled with magnesium hydroxide was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The influence of Mg(OH)2 nanostructures on the flame retardancy of the paraloid matrix was studied using UL-94 analysis. Our r...

We have prepared a series of nano-sized aluminium nitride (nano-AlN)/cycloaliphatic epoxy/trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) systems and investigated their morphology, thermal conductivity, thermal stability and curing behavior. Experimental results show that the thermal conductivity of composites increases with the nano-AlN filler content, the maximum value is up to 0.47 W/(m!K). Incorporation of a smal...

Stability of folic acid and 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid in phosphate buffer (0.2 M; pH 7) toward thermal (above 65 degrees C) and combined high pressure (up to 800 MPa)/thermal (20 up to 65 degrees C) treatments was studied on a kinetic basis. Residual folate concentration after thermal and high pressure/thermal treatments was measured using reverse phase liquid chromatography. The degradation...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

Microstructural, mechanical, and thermal-shock behavior of hot-gas candle fiters obtained from different manufacturers have been evaluated. These filters include both monolithic ceramic and composite materials. Based on the results obtained so far, composite filters perform better than monolithic ceramic filters in a thermal-shock environment. During thermal-shock testing, the monolithic cerami...
