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…
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…
