Preparations and thermal properties of micro- and nano-BN dispersed HDPE composites

Effect of thermal conductive fillers on the properties of polypropylene composites

“…Previous studies reported that the absorption energy of a smaller particle is higher than that of a larger particle due to its high surface energy. 7 Jung et al 8 and Boudenne et al 9 proved that the nano-sized conductive fillers in composites give better thermal conductive and stability characteristics, since smaller particles have better interaction and can more easily form the conductive path than the micron-sized particles.…”

Preparation and properties of flexible flame-retardant neutron shielding material based on methyl vinyl silicone rubber

“…The following materials were used to prepare a flexible flame-retardant neutron shielding material: B 4 …”

“…As unwanted radiation is harmful to man and the environment, the demand for reliable neutron shielding materials has been increasing. Polymer composites containing 10 B can effectively shield against neutron radiations; boron compounds are relatively cheap and exhibit excellent thermal neutron absorption because of the high thermal neutron absorption cross-section (r = 760 b) of 10 B atoms [4,5]. Many polymer/B 4 C composites, such as epoxy/B 4 C [6-9] and polyethylene/B 4 C [10][11][12], are used to fabricate neutron shielding materials.…”

The effect of low temperature air plasma treatment on physico-chemical properties of kaolinite/polyethylene composites

“…There were determined parameters such as melting point temperature (T m ), enthalpy of fusion at the melting point ( m ), degree of crystallinity, position of the first exothermic peak T exo and degree of crystallinity (Xc) calculated according to Jung et al [29][30][31]. As given in Table 5, with increasing degree of filling of PE polymer macromolecular matrix a decrease of the fusion enthalpy was found to be accompanied with a decrease of the melting point temperature.…”
