Supergiant Barocaloric Effects in Acetoxy Silicone Rubber over a Wide Temperature Range: Great Potential for Solid-state Cooling
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…
