Thermal conductivity variations with composition of gelatin-silica aerogel-sodium dodecyl sulfate with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube doping in their composites by Mahesh, Sachithanadam, Joshi, Sunil Chandrakant

“…This paper discusses the variations in thermal conductivity of a binder-treated gelatin silica aerogel-sodium dodecyl sulfate (GSA-SDS) composite blocks doped with COOH group functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (FMWNT) prepared via freeze drying and frothing methods. The thermal conductivity of GSA-SDS and GSA-SDS/FMWNT composites was evaluated with several mass ratios of the composite mix for 1-D steady-state heat transfer at mean temperature, Tm (300-370K), using Lee’s Disc method. …”

A comparative analysis of vitrification and two slow freezing methods for gonocyte-containing neonatal calf testicular tissue and subsequent in vitro culture by Tang, S, Jones, C, Davies, J, Lane, S, Coward, K

“…No significant differences were observed in the proportion of seminiferous tubules containing PGP9.5-positive germ cells when compared between the three methods. Comparable densities of germ cells per unit area were observed in the controlled/uncontrolled slow freezing groups, and the vitrification group (7.89 ± 1.83, 7.75 ± 1.75, and 7.92 ± 1.23/104 µm2 , respectively). …”
