Self‐Seeded Nucleation of PET in a Benign Solvent Yields a High Modulus Aerogel With Ultra‐Low Thermal Conductivity

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new benign solvent (1,3‐diphenylacetone) enables a simple, safe, and sustainable dissolution and gelation method to convert waste PET into low density, monolithic aerogels with high mechanical strength (E = 20 MPa) and remarkably low thermal conductivity (k = 21.9 to 28.9 mW/m·K).

Experimental research on flame propagation characteristics of coal dust combustion

Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation, 2021
The presence of coal dust explosions in coal mining are significant safety hazards. This study mainly explores the flame propagation of coal dust combustion so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of coal dust explosions.

Flow and combustion in disc and pent-roof SI engines [PDF]

, 2006
Reported in this thesis is a study of combustion in a disc-shaped combustion chamber spark ignition engine, and in-cylinder flow and combustion in an idealised pent-roof spark ignition engine. Both engines were skip fired, to remove residuals and ensure

Designing Strong, Tough, Fire‐Retardant and Self‐Healing Elastomers with Phosphorus/Nitrogen‐ and Biphenyl‐Containing Segments

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By designing a P/N‐ and π–π interacting biphenyl‐containing diol as hard segments but side groups, a strong, tough, fire‐extinguishing and self‐healing elastomer is developed, demonstrating a break strain of ∼2500%, a toughness of 379 MJ/m3 and a tensile strength of 46 MPa, as well as a healing efficiency of 95% (tensile strength) and 99% (break strain)
