However, the surface temperature was lower under the intermittent heating method, reducing the asphalt aging and improving the bulk temperature and its uniformity of the specimen.
The addition of carbide-forming elements to the matrix positively influences the interfacial thermal conductance (ITC), and is an effective method for improving the bulk thermal conductivity of composite materials.
However, the temperature of heated pavement layer was integrally elevated using another reciprocating intermittent heating method (RIHM), improving the bulk temperature and its distribution homogeneity in the upper pavement layer.
Azarmi et al. (2008) reported that vermicompost applications can improve the bulk density and total porosity of the soil.
These results may imply that the growths of InGaN-based LED on the HLAPSS can improve the bulk GaN crystalline quality through the relaxation of the residual compressive strain as a result of the higher symmetry of HLAPSS.
For MWCNTs/PCS composites, it is found that PCS content and sintering pressure improved the bulk density and Vickers hardness of sintered MWCNTs, and the value of mechanical properties was highest for the MWCNTs/20% PCS.
These results clearly illustrated that the use of a three-dimensional geometry helped to extend molecular conjugation, thus enhancing the light-harvesting ability and short-circuit current density, while further improving the bulk-heterojunction device performance.
The synthesized SSFP condensate could improve the fluidity, bulk density and compressive strength of the investigated cement pastes.
CV treatment in H2O2 + KI on Ag electrode improves the catalytic activity more than bulk electrolysis (BE) due to increase in surface porosity.
