polymer-graphite powder composite behaves as a low-conductive material which can be used as an automatic fuse for adhesive connector in electrical circuits. the conductivity of this composite, below its transition temperature, tt, depends on concentration of carbon powder, slowly decreases as the temperature increases. meanwhile, the electrical resistivity of this material in transition tempera...

Hydrophobicity properties of graphite and green synthesized graphene (gsG) from exfoliated graphite/GO towards polymer membrane characteristic and properties at different weight percentage concentrations (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 wt. %) were investigated. PSf/graphite and PSf/gsG membranes were characterized in term of hydrophobicity, surface bonding, surface roughness and porosity. FTIR peaks revealed...

Graphene was prepared by reduction of graphite oxide (GO), which was obtained from oxidation of graphite powder by Hummers′ method. The graphite and graphene were detected preliminary by X-ray diffraction(XRD)、transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The graphene electrode was prapared by graphene and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The electro-catalytic char...

the effect of mechanical activation on structural changes and kinetics of carbothermic reduction of hematite with graphite was studied in this research. hematite powder mixture with graphite (with stoichiometry ratio c/o=1) was milled for the time periods of zero to 50 hours, and the structural changes were studied using x ray diffraction (xrd). the effect of mechanical activation on the kineti...

The graphite oxide was prepared by oxidizing purified natural flake graphite via modified Hummers method. The graphene oxide was prepared by graphite oxide exfoliating in distilled water with ultrasonic waves. Structural and physiochemical properties of the products were investigated with the help of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ra...

Monolithic ceramics have been fabricated from coated green fibers to create fibrous microstructures. The fibrous monoliths consist of high aspect ratio polycrystalline regions (cells) of a primary phase separated by thin secondphase regions (cell boundaries) designed to improve fracture resistance. The cells are the remnants of the green fiber which consists of ceramic powder and a polymer bind...

friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized al2o3 and micro sized graphite particles. a mixture of al2o3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

In this communication, we demonstrate the rapid large-scale preparation of holey graphene nanosheets (h-G NSs) via low-temperature thermal treatment of oxidized graphite powder obtained by a modified Brodie method in air. The h-G NSs have nanopores with a high specific surface area and large pore volume. When used as a water cleaning agent, they exhibit excellent absorption performances for oil...

The low thermal conductivity of gypsum-based composites containing phase change materials (PCMs) has limited their application in construction materials. In this study, the mechanical and properties microstructures paraffin (PA)/gypsum iron powder, copper expanded graphite were characterized by a universal testing machine, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, electron microscopy...
