    Abstract: Polymer Phase change material (PCM's) are materials used to store Energy for a broad range of Applications. Unlike conventional storage materials, PCM absorbs and release heat at a nearly constant temperature. They store 5–14 times more heat per unit volume than sensible storage materials. Increasing demand in solar engineering and spacecraft therm... Show More

    Abstract: AC conductivity, dielectric constant, loss and electric modulus of Sodium nitrate system have been studied in the frequency range from 1Hz to 10MHz and in the temperature range from 303 K to 563 K by employing impedance spectroscopy. The frequency dependent ac conductivity follows Jonscher’s universal power law. Dimensionless frequency exponent (n)... Show More

    Abstract: One novel Zn-phthalocyanine bearing different substituent was synthesized. The resulting compounds were characterized by NMR and FTIR. The corresponding polymer was synthesized via cyclic voltametry. The optical properties of these π-conjugated systems were investigated by UV-Visible absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The electroch... Show More

    Abstract: There exist a large number of raw materials sources rich in alumina and silicon with the potential for procuring geopolymers. Among the materials predominate fly ash, calcined clays, puzzolans, kaolins, illite/smectite, metakaolins and slags. Geopolymers results from the reaction of aluminosilicate powder with an alkaline silicate solution. It has ... Show More

    Abstract: The results of the research are presented as the technology of smelting cast iron using iron-containing substances with organic pollutants as a charge material. Iron- and carbon- containing substances are introduced into the melt as stable components of bales which are not damaged during transportation. Bales are formed under low pressure from iron...

    Abstract: Bonded aluminium single lap joints have been exposed to a fully reversed ageing environment (immersion followed by withdrawal both at 50oC) in both loaded and unloaded conditions with time dependent. Monitoring of these specimens and testing at key points on this reversed ageing environment has led to the stress rupture and moisture dependence of j... Show More

    Abstract: Edge-carboxylated graphite (ECG) was produced by grinding pristine graphite in a planetary ball-mill machine. Transmission electron microscope was used to confirm the layers of graphene in ECG. The elemental analyses showed that the oxygen contents are different between ECG samples. The vibrational analysis of single- and five-layered graphene was ... Show More

    Abstract: We calculate phase transitions of uranium dioxide using structure factor in molecular dynamics. Our method is based on analysis of the rate of the structure factor change with the temperature. The temperatures of melting and transition to the superionic state for the uranium dioxide obtained by this method are 3100K and 2600K, respectively. Theses ... Show More
