The effect of surface energy on the heat transfer enhancement of paraffin wax/carbon foam composites

The influence of carbon foam surface energy on heat transfer through paraffin wax/carbon foam composite was investigated. Carbon foam samples were surface treated and their corresponding surface energy values were measured. A theoretical model was formulated to analyze the mass of paraffin wax absorbed for both pristine and surface activated carbon foam samples based on the concept foam wettability. An experimental study was carried out for heating of the wax/carbon foam composite samples to study the phase change heat transfer due to the melting of wax within the foam matrices. The above studies showed that a greater mass of wax was absorbed within the activated carbon foam samples as compared to the pristine sample which can be due to their greater wettability. This resulted in an improvement in heat transfer rate for the activated samples. The total energy storage rate for the activated composite samples was compared with the pristine sample for the same heating duration and an enhancement of more than 18% was observed for the two activated samples. These studies revealed that the surface energy of carbon foams can play an important role in improving the overall thermal performance of wax/carbon foam composites.     

Synthesis of a carbon nanofiber/carbon foam composite from coal liquefaction residue for the separation of oil and water

A carbon nanofiber (CNF)/carbon foam composite was fabricated from coal liquefaction residue (CLR) through a procedure involving template synthesis of carbon foam and catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) treatment. The high solubility and high pyrolysis yield make CLR a promising carbon precursor for the synthesis of carbon materials using the template method. The carbon foam has cell size of about 500 μm and a porosity as high as 95 vol.%. Fe species naturally present in the CLR disperse homogeneously on the surface of the carbon foam acting as a catalyst in the CCVD process. After the CCVD treatment, the whole surface of the carbon foam is covered by entangled CNFs with external diameters of 20–100 nm and lengths of several tens of micrometers. The obtained CNF/carbon foam composites are effective selective adsorbents in the separation of oil and water, through a combination of hydrophobicity and capillary action.     

Preparation and properties of nano ZnO toughed phenol–urea-formaldehyde foam

Urea formaldehyde (UF) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) foam possess outstanding flame-retardant properties, excellent insulation, and low thermal conductivity. These properties make them suitable for thermal insulation in buildings. However, the mechanical properties still need to be improved. In this study, orthogonal test was designed to optimize the level components of PF/UF composite foam first, then nano ZnO was added to the PF/UF composite foam to improve its toughness. The effects of nano ZnO on the morphology, apparent density, pulverization rate, thermal conductivity and thermal degradation property, flame retardancy, and mechanical properties of the ZnO/PF/UF nanocomposite foam were studied. The addition of nano ZnO improved the bending and compressive strength and decreased the pulverization rate of the composite foam significantly. The ZnO/PF/UF nanocomposite foam also presented better flame retardant properties than PF/UF composite foam. The largest oxygen index values of ZnO/PF/UF nanocomposite foam could reach 39.31%, while the thermal conductivity and the maximum rate of weight loss temperature were increased to 0.036 W/(m∙K) and 279°C, respectively. Moreover, ZnO/PF/UF nanocomposite foam showed low apparent density property (0.27 g/cm³).     

High performance PEEK/AlN micro‐ and nanocomposites for tribological applications

The tribological properties of poly(ether–ether–ketone) (PEEK)/aluminum nitride (AlN) composites reinforced with micro‐ and nano‐AlN particles were evaluated under dry sliding conditions. The wear resistance of pure PEEK is 10‐fold higher than mild steel. It was further improved by 2‐fold at 20 wt % micro‐AlN and by more than 4‐fold at 30 wt % nano‐AlN composite compared with pure PEEK. The improvement in wear resistance was attributed to a thin and coherent transfer film. However, it was deteriorated on further increasing micro‐AlN. The coefficient of friction of the composites was increased. Scanning electron microscopy and optical microscopy of worn surfaces and transfer films have been explained in detail. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011

Effects of carbon nanofibers on cell morphology, thermal conductivity and crush strength of carbon foam

The effects of low volume fractions of carbon nanofibers on the structure, thermal conductivity and crush strength of carbon foam were examined. Bulk density of the foam increased linearly with the fiber fraction reflecting the morphological changes in the cells. Thermal conductivity increased at low fiber fractions, but dropped at higher fiber fractions. Crush strength increased linearly with fiber fraction for short length fibers, but decreased for the longer length fibers. Scanning electron microscopy, petrography, and X-ray diffraction illustrated the complex effects of the carbon nanofibers on the foam. Available models for thermal conductivity and crush strength have been extended to accommodate these effects incorporating cell structure and morphology (macroeffect), presence of fibers (microeffect), and graphite crystal d-spacing (nanoeffect). This research has shown that the nanofibers have a complex role in the macro, micro, and nanoproperties of the composite foam.
