Organic and Carbon Gels

From Laboratory Synthesis to Applications

This expert volume provides specialized coverage of the current state of the art in carbon gels. Carbon gels represent a promising class of materials with high added value applications and many assets, like the ability to accurately tailor their structure, porosity, and surface composition and easily dope them with numerous species. The ability to obtain them in custom shapes, such as powder, beads, monoliths, or impregnated scaffolds opens the way towards numerous applications, including catalysis, adsorption, and electrochemical energy storage, among others. Nevertheless, it remains a crucial question as to which design synthesis and manufacturing processes are viable from an economic and environmental point of view. The book represents the perspectives of renowned specialists in the field, specially invited to conduct a one-day workshop devoted to carbon gels as part of the 19th International Sol-Gel Conference, SOL-GEL 2017, held on September 3rd, 2017 in Liège, Belgium. Addressing properties and synthesis through applications and industry outlook, this book represents essential reading for advanced graduate students through practicing researchers interested in these exciting materials.

Thermal Properties Measurement of Materials

By: Yves Jannot,Alain Degiovanni

The control of energy in the industrial sector and the reduction of consumption in the building sector will be key elements in the energy transition. In order to achieve these objectives it is necessary to use materials with energy performance adapted to their use as well as insulators or super-insulators. In both cases, a thorough knowledge of their thermal properties will be required for optimal success. This revised and updated 2nd edition of Thermal Properties Measurement of Materials enables the reader to choose the measurement method best suited to the material they are characterizing and provides all of the information required in order to implement it with maximum precision. This work is intended to be accessible to anyone who needs to measure the thermal properties of a material, whether or not they are a thermal engineer.
