TL;DR: In this paper, structural stability, dispersion, viscosity, and convective heat transfer properties of nanofluids based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were investigated.
Abstract: The present work investigates the structural stability, dispersion, viscosity, and convective heat transfer properties of nanofluids based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). Oxidative acid refluxation on MWCNT was examined for different time periods in order to achieve good dispersibility and thermal enhancement. Structural stability and efficient chemical functionalization was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was conducted to ascertain the formation of chemical functional groups on covalently modified MWCNT. Raman band study on oxidized MWCNT was analyzed by Raman scattering measurements. Dispersion of functionalized MWCNT was studied by ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy have been performed to ascertain the structural durableness of nanomaterials in fluids. Viscosity and thermal conductivity behavior of DI water and ethylene glycol based MWCNT nanofluids were studied w...

TL;DR: In this article, the application of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in different types of commodity thermoplastic composites (polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)) have been discussed in terms of mechanical properties, morphologies and thermal properties.
Abstract: The application of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in different types of commodity thermoplastic composites (polyethylene, polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)) have been discussed in terms of mechanical properties, morphologies and thermal properties. In addition, engineering thermoplastics such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyamides and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) and their composites added with APP and other additives were analyzed as well. It was suggested that improvement of mechanical properties and morphologies of the thermoplastic composites could be made possible with appropriate amount of APP and other additives such as montmorillonite (MMT), pentaerythritol (PER) and different types of layered double hydroxide (LDH). Furthermore, thermal properties such as limiting oxygen index (LOI) values together with cone calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) performance could be enhanced through optimum combination of APP, PER and melamine which functions as intumescent flame retardant (IFR).
