Endothermic vs. exothermic reactions
The main difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions lies in the heat exchange with the environment.
Polyethyleneterephthalate (PET): An in-depth investigation
Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly referred to as PET, occupies an important place in numerous industrial and commercial productions.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): An in-depth investigation
Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC, is a versatile thermoplastic that plays an important role in many industrial and commercial sectors.
Polystyrene (PS): A detailed analysis
Polystyrene, also known as polystyrene, is a widely used polymer produced by the polymerization of styrene.
Low density polyethylene (LDPE): A summary
Low density polyethylene, LDPE, is a thermoplastic polymer made from the monomer ethylene. It is a highly branched plastic.
Oxidation induction time and temperature
Oxidation is a chemical process that takes place when electrons are lost from a molecule, atom or ion.
Molten Salts – Heat transfer of the future
Molten salts are stable at high temperatures above 300 °C and exhibit remarkable thermal properties.
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS): An in-depth look
Semiconductors with a larger energy gap (Eg) than conventional semiconductors, typically in the range above 2 eV, are referred to as wide bandgap semiconductors (WbGs).
Thermal Interface Materials – Heat Spreaders
Heat spreaders are thermally conductive objects that act as a bridge between a heat source and a heat exchanger.
