For consolidation, each mixture was poured into a mold, remaining for a short period and then removed. For complete solidification the specimens were cured with water during the final stage. The weight, compressive strength and thermal conductivity of the composite were determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
