We use molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the early and developed stages of surface condensation. We find that the liquid-vapor and solid-liquid interfacial thermal resistances depend on the properties of solid and fluid, which are time-independent, while the condensate bulk thermal resistance depends on the condensate thickness, which is time-dependent. There exists intrinsic competi...

Graphene has received much attention due to its remarkable electronic properties. It also has exceptional thermal properties, such as an unusually high thermal conductivity. Understanding thermal transport of graphene is of great importance to the applications for future graphene‐based devices in energy efficient nanoelectronics. We have calculated the thermal current of symmetric...

The review presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies structure, bonding between atoms, mechanical properties, thermal stability, oxidation corrosion resistance films based on ternary transition metal borides.

Tailoring the thermal conductivity of polymers is central to enlarge their applications in the thermal management of flexible integrated circuits. Progress has been made over the past decade by fabricating materials with various nanostructures, but a clear relationship between various functional groups and thermal properties of polymers remains to be established. Here, we numerically study the ...

Timo Heikkinen. Bonding of Composite Resin to Alumina and Zirconia Ceramics with Special Emphasis on Surface Conditioning and Use of Coupling Agents. Department of Biomaterials Science, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku. Annales Universitatis Turkuensis, Turku, Finland 2011. Dental oxide ceramics have been inspired by their biocompability and mechanical properties which have made dura...

In this paper, the babbitting of a bearing in boiler feed pump of an electromotor has been studied. These bearings have an important role in reducing the shut down times in the pumps, compressors and turbines. The most conventional method in babbitting is casting as a melting method. The comparison between thermal spray and casting methods in babbitting shows that the thermal spraying babbitt l...

The binary compound SnSe exhibits record high thermoelectric performance, largely because of its very low thermal conductivity. The origin of the strong phonon anharmonicity leading to the low thermal conductivity of SnSe is investigated through first-principles calculations of the electronic structure and phonons. It is shown that a Jahn-Teller instability of the electronic structure is respon...
