The use of nanocomposites, which use small-scale particle fillers to enhance the characteristics of thermoplastics and thermosets, has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. For instance, ...

The distances between particles are smallest in the solid, they are larger in the liquid and larger again in the gas. The particles in gases and liquids move more freely than in solids, so their ...

When a mass of material adsorbs heat energy its temperature increases. The temperature rise DT is related to the heat transfer DQ through the Heat Capacity C: ...

The energy needed to increase the temperature of a material is measured as heat capacity, which is a structure sensitive property. Traditional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can readily ...

make and record potential difference, current and time accurately measure and observe the change in temperature and energy transferred use appropriate apparatus and methods to measure the specific ...
