Morphological and Structural Evaluation of Hydration/Dehydration Stages of MgSO4 Filled Composite Silicone Foam for Thermal Energy Storage Applications [PDF]
Salt hydrates, such as MgSO4·7H2O, are considered attractive materials for thermal energy storage, thanks to their high theoretical storage density. However, pure salt hydrates present some challenges in real application due to agglomeration, corrosion ...

The effect of production parameters on the foaming behavior of spherical-shaped aluminum foam [PDF]
The effect of production parameters on the foaming behavior of spherical-shaped aluminum foam was studied. Elemental powders of Alumix 231 and 1% TiH2 were mixed, compacted at 600 MPa pressure by using a uniaxial action press to produce blanks with 50×30×
