This work reports the structural and low-temperature electrical transport properties of Mo doped V2O3 single-layer thin films (i.e., with compositions between Mo and V2O3 [V2−xMoxO3−δ (x=0, 0.05-0.1)]) deposited on alumina (Al2O3) substrates by sol-gel dip-coating technique. The...

This paper presented the experimental results of MOC (magnesium oxychloride cement) with the EP/PA (expanded perlite/paraffin) composite manufactured by extrusion technique. The objective of this study was to improve the thermal insulation and thermal storage capacity of MOC cement with...

In this study, a paraffin/diatomite composite phase change material (PCM) was used as fine aggregate in the production of novel thermal energy storage engineered cementitious composites (TES-ECCs) featuring high tensile ductility and heat storage capacity. The mechanical properties, volume...

In this study, a paraffin/diatomite/MWCNTs (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) composite PCM (phase change material) was tailor-made for further applications in producing thermal energy storage cement-based composites. For the purpose of selecting an optimum diatomite as the supporting matrix for the...

In this study, thermal energy storage cement-based composite (TESC) was developed by incorporating paraffin/diatomite (DP) composite phase change material (PCM). Paraffin/DP composite PCM was firstly fabricated at mix proportion (paraffin: DP) of 0.9:1.0. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and...
