Thermal Conductivity 24 Thermal Expansion 12

Proceedings of the joint conferences of the Twenty-Fifth International ThermalConductivity Conference and the Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Thermal Expansion Symposium, on June 13-16, 1999 in Ann Arbor, Michigan USA.

This book presents the most current research on heat flow in materials, ranging from metals to newer materials such as thin films and nanowires.

Major edited presentations of new developments in materials science and technology.

In additional to traditional topics such as thermal insulation, instrumentation and standards, the conference highlighted research in carbon nanotubes, nanomaterials, novel thin films, thermoelectric and composites.

New volume in the ITCC/ITES book series on thermal conductivity. Papers include applications related to thermophysical properties measurement methods, equipment, processes, theory, and new developments.

"This is the 2008 volume in the ITCC/ITES book series on thermal conductivity, devoted to thermal conductivity performance in many types of engineered materials. The book comprises 52 original papers specially selected and edited from the ITCC 29/ITES17 conference, held in June 2007 at the University of Alabama, with support from the Southern Research Institute. New areas covered in this book include thermoelectrics, nuclear and aerospace materials, including the James Webb Space Telescope."--DEStech Publications web-site, viewed 15 January 2009
