A theoretical model for describing effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of nanocrystalline materials has been proposed, so that the ETC can be easily obtained from its grain size, single crystal thermal conductivity, single crystal phonon mean free path (PMFP), and the Kaptiza thermal resistance. In addition, the relative importance between grain boundaries (GBs) and size effects on the ETC of ...

Several silicate materials were plasma sprayed and characterized by the authors in recent years from the point of view of their chemical and phase compositions, microstructure and mechanical as well as thermal properties. Present work is concerned with selected dielectric properties of these deposits. Synthetic mullite and steatite as well as natural olivine-forsterite were plasma sprayed using...

This paper deals with the influence of addition of abraded fiber, as a partial substitute of softwood fibers, on the properties of insulating fiberboard. The fiber used was characterized by fractional composition of fiber length according to McNett (STN 50 0289) using the apparatus for the measurement of fiber length in aqueous suspension (ADV) and according to Brecht-Holl (STN 50 0289) by the ...

We address the existence and properties of multipole solitons localized at a thermally insulating interface between uniform or layered thermal media and a linear dielectric. We find that in the case of uniform media, only surface multipoles with less than three poles can be stable. In contrast, we reveal that periodic alternation of the thermo-optic coefficient in layered thermal media makes po...

While choosing insulating oil, characteristic features such as thermal cooling, endurance, efficiency and being environment-friendly should be considered. Mineral oils are referred as petroleum-based oil. In this study, vegetable oils investigated as an alternative insulating liquid to mineral oil. Dissipation factor, breakdown voltage, relative dielectric constant and resistivity changes with ...

wood is a naturally renewable material with both continuous and isolated pore systems. wood-composite panels have the privilege of offering a homogeneous structure to be used as constructional and structural materials. however, its nature makes it susceptible to biological wood-deteriorating agents, water absorption and thickness swelling, fire, etc. using nano-materials are very easy in the wo...

Coreless substrate is excellent for fine patterning, small via pitches, and transmission property, and it is a promising IC packaging method for the next generation. Warpage of coreless substrate is generally large compared to the other types of IC packaging substrates because of inadequate rigidity, so the most important problem for the application of coreless substrates for high-end BGAs is w...
