Porous ceramics with unidirectionally oriented pores have been prepared by various
methods such as anodic oxidation, templating using wood, unidirectional solidification …

In order to utilize the guarded-hot-plate (GHP) apparatus to study the influence of heating
direction and the significance of convection within pores of porous materials, the …

Abstract The Micro-and Nano-mechanics Working Group of the Chinese Society of
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics organized a forum to discuss the perspectives, trends …

The inclusion of air pores to reduce the thermal conductivity of insulations is a common
practice. Air has very low thermal conductivity and therefore its inclusion will reduce the …

Heat conduction in composite materials has been traditionally considered as occurring via
conductance through the solid phase and also in pores containing gas. In this paper these …
