we find for the first time that the thermal expansion coefficient is very sensitive to the substitution of the phosphate chain network by a network consisting of Zn-O units in zinc-rich glass.

In particular, the ability to realise negative thermal expansion coefficients is of great relevance to the potential application of MOFs—for instance at material interfaces where they could ...

This all is due to thermal expansion. Metals expand more and have relatively high values of coefficient of linear expansion. The fractional change in volume of a substance due to change in ...

A thermal expansion coefficient is a well-established key principle that all solid materials have different properties when exposed to variations in temperature. When they are exposed to high ...

A team of scientists have developed zero thermal expansion (ZTE) materials. This innovation has achieved nearly 100% voltage recovery in aging lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Their study is ...

Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (CLTE) testing has been developed to assess the material expansion and contraction rate over a given temperature range. CLTE is frequently used in design ...

Over the wide range of applications related to adhesives, one of the toughest challenges is bonding together substrates with different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). Furthermore, thermal ...
