Recently, flexible PCPs are emerging as an ideal platform for realizing abnormal temperature-induced structural dynamic behaviours, such as negative thermal expansion (NTE) 11,12,13,14 and very ...

Unlike most materials, cordierite displays an unusual combination of thermal expansions: low positive expansion along two perpendicular axes and negative expansion along the third. This unique ...

When temperature causes changes in structure, it's referred to as thermal expansion or thermal contraction, and it's a phenomenon. you have to carefully control for if you're building a bridge or ...

Such materials have what are known as negative thermal expansion (NTE) properties. A material that has both positive and negative expansion could conceivably result in net zero change, thereby ...

Over time, without proper measures, this expansion could lead to bowing or even bursting pipes, causing water damage and significant repair costs. What is Piping Thermal Expansion, and What Causes It?

Thermal expansion is a common phenomenon in nature. It often leads to structural disorder or loss of precision, ultimately compromising material performance. The researchers led by Prof. Liu ...

The discovery of this field-induced sign change could offer a new way of controlling a material’s thermal expansion – a prospect that would have many industrial applications as well as interest for ...
