Conductive particles loose

In solids, the component of conduction must be added to the dielectric properties. This is especially critical in semi-conductive particles, like carbon based materials. Under microwave radiation, conductive particles loose energy through their displacement. This complicates the estimation of absorption energy, characterized by the equivalent dielectric conductivity, cj, and a loss parameter of a/uteQ. This term increases with increasing temperature. This effect, named thermal runaway, comphcates the control of homogeneous temperature heating.

The compound can be produced with any arbitrary PCM and can also be brought into any arbitrary form e.g. by injection molding. The final result has a similar volumetric composition as the PCM-graphite matrix, which is 10 vol. % graphite, 80 vol. % PCM and 10 vol. % air. The thermal conductivity however is only about 4-5 W/m K due to the loose contact between the graphite particles in the compound. Nevertheless, compared to the pure PCM, the thermal conductivity is still enhanced by a factor of 5-20. 

In the second group, the solid-phase concentration is high, and solids particles are either loose but in contact, or consolidated. In this case, the solid phase is the matrix, while the liquid phase is the dispersed phase. In this group, electrical conductivity is used to measure the effective porosity of the porous medium (64, 65). Also, if two immiscible fluids, for example, oil and water, are present in a porous medium, the electrical conductivity can be employed to measure the relative saturations of the two fluids and to give an indication of the wettability of the porous medium (66, 67). 

To facilitate the measurement of the bulk conductivity, the toner powders were compressed into thin cylindrical disks under a hydrostatic pressure of 100,000 psi. Under these pressures the toner flowed readily and formed a uniform pellet in which the toner particle surfaces were in more intimate contact than in a loose powder. Gold electrodes were evaporated onto the flat faces and the current as a function of the applied electric field measured. This measurement method of the conductivity has certain inherent disadvantages, however, this measurement was intended to be used simply to contrast the kinetic conductivity values reported in Section IV, not to extract absolute values of the material parameters. Nonetheless, several samples of various thicknesses were prepared and measured for each type of toner and the results were found to be quite reproducible. 

A suitably conducted thermal treatment, for instance, removes not only adsorbates, but also functional groups. At sufficient temperatures (usually >800 °C) in vacuo, the surface looses its functionalization, and a graphitization of the nanodiamond s outermost shell occurs. However, a thermal treatment still increases agglomeration, so a functionalization of single primary particles cannot be achieved in this manner so far. 

According to the nature of the dispersed phase in the mixture, uses of electrical conductivity can be divided into two major groups. In the first group, the dispersed phase (the solid particles in slurry systems or the oil droplets in oil-in-water emulsions) consists of loose particles dispersed in a continuous phase (matrix). The particles have a defined shape... 

As illustrated in Figure 2.1b, ideal locations of Pt particles are at the true triple-phase boundary, highlighted by the big star. Catalyst particles with nonoptimal double-phase contacts are indicated by the smaller stars. Pt gas interfaces are inactive due to the inhibited access to protons. Bulky chunks of ionomer on the agglomerate surface build the percolating network for proton conduction in secondary pores. Only individual or loosely connected ionomer molecules seem to be able to penetrate the small primary pores. It is unlikely that they could sustain notable proton conductivity. They merely act as a binder. Proton transport inside agglomerates, thus, predominantly occurs via water-filled primary pores, toward Pt water interfaces.
