One of the solutions for overheating the interior in the summer without increasing energy consumption is the integration of phase change material (PCM) into interior plasters. However, adding PCM to plasters deteriorates their properties and thus their usability. The aim of this paper is to determine how the microencapsulated PCM affects the mechanical, thermal, and fire properties of plasters and how much PCM can be added to the plaster. Two sets of samples were prepared: in set S, part of the aggregate ...

The synthesis of P-doped graphitic carbon nitride (PCN) by in situ doping via co-pyrolysis of melamine and hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) is being investigated. The amount of HCCP varies between 2 and 40 wt% and the results show continuous enrichment of graphitic carbon nitride (CN) by phosphorus. The detailed characterization of prepared samples leads to the proposition of the occurrence of phosphorus in synthesized samples as well as to the proposition of a P-doping mechanism. The results of ...

Two types of bulk graphitic carbon nitrides (CN) were synthetized by heating melamine at 550 °C for 4 h in the air (CN/air) and nitrogen (CN/N2) atmosphere for us to find the effect of present oxygen on their properties. Bulk CN was exfoliated by further heating at 500 °C for 1–3 h in air and nitrogen as well. The obtained materials were studied in terms of structural, textural and physico-chemical properties including photocatalytic activity. The CN/air materials contained less oxygen (2.3–5.0 wt%) than ...

Kaolin is most often used as traditional raw material in ceramic industry. The purpose of the study was to obtain understanding of the structural and chemical variability of cordierite ceramics influenced by chemical and mineralogical properties of six raw kaolins taken from different localities when they are applied in ceramics mixtures with vermiculite and sintered up to 1300 °C. The X-ray diffraction and simultaneous thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis were used to identify and ...

The cordierite/steatite ceramics were prepared from the pre-ceramic clay mineral mixtures containing talc, kaolinite and unconventionally used vermiculite. The aim was to characterize cordierite/steatite ceramics in relation to the vermiculites in the pre-ceramic mixtures and compare the influence of their sintering, loosely in crucibles and pressed into pellets. Quantitative X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed approximately a 5 vol% lower content of indialite (IND) sintered in pellets than ...

The Zr4 +–vermiculites were studied in their new role of the zircon precursor in the clay minerals mixtures which were prepared for firing of the zircon–cordierite nanocomposites. Currently there is a lack of data available about the structure of Zr4 +–vermiculites, on which this study was performed. The modeling of the arrangement of interlayer material in the Zr4 +–vermiculite led to new findings that water molecules are attracted more strongly by Mg2 + cations than by Zr-tetrameric cations, and that ...

The investigated alloys lie close to the monovariant line (eutectic valley) of the Sn–Zn–Al system. The temperatures of phase transitions of six binary Sn–Zn reference alloys and fourteen ternary Sn–Zn–Al alloys using DTA method were investigated in this paper. DTA experiments were performed at the heating/cooling ...

Preparation of nanocomposite kaolinite/TiO2, using hydrolysis of titanyl sulfate in the presence of kaolin was addressed. A variable (kaolin)/(titanyl sulfate) ratio has been used in order to achieve the desired TiO2 content in prepared nanocomposites. Calcination of the composites at 600 °C led to the transformation of the kaolinite to metakaolinite and to origination of metakaolinite/TiO2 composites. The prepared samples were investigated using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, ...

After a friction process several changes in phase composition of friction composites are often registered. High temperature, accompanied by high pressure induced during braking can cause initiation of chemical reactions which do not run at room or elevated temperatures under the atmospheric pressure. Most of the studies in the field of tribochemistry at friction surfaces of automotive semi-metallic brake linings deal with phenolic resin degradation and corrosion of metallic components.

Abstract The paper reports a study of temperatures of phase transitions of nine samples of real grades of low-alloyed steels, including one sample of pure iron, using differential thermal analysis. Temperatures of phase transitions were measured in the low-temperature interval (20 – 1 000 °C). Investigated systems were analysed at selected rates of heating/cooling and then temperatures of phase transitions for zero heating/cooling rate were determined. The results obtained are compared with temperatures ...

Porous cordierites were prepared from mixtures of talc, kaolinite and vermiculite with alumina or aluminum hydroxide by sintering in an argon atmosphere at 1300 °C for 1 h (porous cordierites of Group I) and 2 h (porous cordierites of Group II). Group I and Group II were different in pore size distribution, quantitative content of mineral phases and cordierite structure parameters. The crystalline phases identified in porous cordierites prepared without vermiculite were cordierite (69–88 vol.%), protoenstatite ( ...

The wide application of Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets, in addition to rare-earth metal resource constraints, creates the necessity of the development of efficient technologies for recycling sintered Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets. In the present study, a magnet-to-magnet recycling process is considered. As starting materials, magnets of different grades were used, which were processed by hydrogen decrepitation and blending the powder with NdHx. Composition inhomogeneity in the Nd2Fe14B-based magnetic phase ...

Continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams represent roadmaps for producing all heat-treatable steels. CCT curves provide valuable information on the solid-state phase transformation sequence, depending on the defined cooling strategies, the alloying concept of the steel and previous processing steps. The experimental characterization of CCT diagrams is usually done on a laboratory scale applying thermal analysis of dilatometry. In current research studies, however, also other in-situ methods ...

The possibilities of metallurgical preparation of 40Nb-60Al and 15W-85Al intermetallic compounds (in at.%) by plasma arc melting (PAM) and vacuum induction melting (VIM) were studied. Both methods allow easy preparation of Nb–Al alloys; however, significant evaporation of Al was observed during the melting, which affected the resulting chemical composition. The preparation of W–Al alloys was more problematic because there was no complete re-melting of W during PAM and VIM. However, the combination ...

In-situ heating/cooling neutron diffraction experiments were performed on a γ-TiAl based alloy doped with Mo and/or C. The structural analysis was complemented by differential scanning calorimetry and electron microscopy. Description of high temperature α phase with new model of partially disordered α2′-Ti3Al phase instead of a fully disordered α-Ti is proposed. The atomic redistribution in the γ phase is related to a wide α-transus signal on the DSC curves. Sections of temperature phase stability ...
