A new volume has just been added to the highly successful ITCC-ITES series on thermal conductivity. This new book is based on the 28th International Thermal Conductivity and 16th International Thermal Expansion conference, held in Canada last year. The papers in this book, written by leading international specialists, provide a valuable collection of original and ongoing work in thermal conductivity.

This book presents the most current research on heat flow in materials, ranging from metals to newer materials such as thin films and nanowires. Together with the earlier volumes described below, Thermal Conductivity 28/Thermal Expansion 16, is an important resource for specialists and researchers who need to know the latest TC advances.

The International Thermal Conductivity Conference-now in its 27th year- is a major international conference on materials science and technology. Seventy-five outstanding technical papers, from leading materials specialists from around the world, were presented at the conference. Published after the conference, this volume contains the complete edited texts with all tables and figures from the latest conference.

In additional to traditional topics such as thermal insulation, instrumentation and standards, the conference tried to highlight research in carbon nanotubes, nanomaterials, novel thin films, thermoelectric and composites. Thermal expansion measurements using X-ray and neutron diffraction methods were presented for the first. The conference highlighted the fact that conductivity and thermal expansion are playing important roles in advanced material research.

Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites

Product Description

Dielectric Polymer Nanocomposites provides the first in-depth discussion of nano-dielectrics, an emerging and fast moving topic in electrical insulation. The text begins with an overview of the background, principles and promise of nanodielectrics, followed by a discussion of the processing of nanocomposites and then proceeds with special considerations of clay based processes, mechanical, thermal and electric properties and surface properties as well as erosion resistance. Carbon nanotubes are discussed as a means of creation of non linear conductivity, the text concludes with a industrial applications perspective.
