A Novel Option for Waste Tire Rubber Reutilization: Refrigerant in Solid-State Cooling Devices
Nicolau Molina Bom, Érik Oda Usuda, Mariana da Silva Gigliotti +4
Management of discarded tires is a compelling environmental issue worldwide. Although several approaches have been developed to recycle waste tire rubbers, their application in sol…
Giant reversible barocaloric effects in Nitrile Butadiene Rubber around room temperature
E. O. Usuda, W. Imamura, N. M. Bom +2
Elastomers have shown to be promising barocaloric materials, being suitable candidates for solid-state cooling devices. Moreover, this family of polymers presents additional advant…
i-Caloric Effects: a proposal for normalization
William Imamura, Lucas S. Paixão, Érik O. Usuda +4
Solid-state cooling based on i-caloric effects is considered the most promising alternative to replace the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems. It is possible to d…

W. Imamura, E. O. Usuda, L. S. Paixão +3
Solid-state cooling based on caloric effects is considered a viable alternative to replace the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems. Regarding barocaloric materials…
Giant barocaloric effects in natural rubber: A relevant step toward solid-state cooling
N. M. Bom, W. Imamura, E. O. Usuda +2
Solid-state cooling based on i-caloric effects has shown to be a promising alternative to the conventional refrigeration devices. Only very recently, the research on barocaloric ma…
Giant room-temperature barocaloric effects in PDMS rubber at low pressures
A. M. G. Carvalho, W. Imamura, E. O. Usuda +1
The barocaloric effect is still an incipient scientific topic, but it has been attracting an increasing attention in the last years due to the promising perspectives for its applic…
Large barocaloric effects at low pressures in natural rubber
Érik O. Usuda, Nicolau M. Bom, Alexandre Magnus G. Carvalho
Barocaloric effect in vulcanized natural rubber (V-NR) has been investigated. Direct measurements of the temperature change (ΔT) around room temperature (283-333 K) resulted in lar…
Experimental setup for measuring the barocaloric effect in polymers: Application to natural rubber
N. M. Bom, E. O. Usuda, G. M. Guimarães +2
Barocaloric materials have shown to be promising alternatives to the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration technologies. Nevertheless, barocaloric effect (σb-CE) has not bee…
