  2. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    A number of materials contract on heating within certain temperature ranges; this is usually called negative thermal expansion, rather than "thermal contraction".For example, the coefficient of thermal expansion of water drops to zero as it is cooled to 3.983 °C (39.169 °F) and then becomes negative below this temperature; this means that water has a maximum density at this temperature, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

    Underfloor heating pipes, before they are covered by the screed. Underfloor heating and cooling is a form of central heating and cooling that achieves indoor climate control for thermal comfort using hydronic or electrical heating elements embedded in a floor.

  5. Perlite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlite

    In the construction and manufacturing fields, it is used in lightweight plasters, concrete and mortar, insulation and ceiling tiles. [8] It may also be used to build composite materials that are sandwich-structured [9] or to create syntactic foam. [10] Perlite filters are fairly common in filtering beer before it is bottled.

  6. Negative thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_thermal_expansion

    Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is an unusual physicochemical process in which some materials contract upon heating, rather than expand as most other materials do. The most well-known material with NTE is water at 0 to 3.98 °C. Also, the density of solid water (ice) is lower than the density of liquid water at standard pressure.

  7. Ultra-high temperature ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature_ceramic

    Ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a type of refractory ceramics that can withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading, often above 2,000 °C. [1] They also often have high thermal conductivities and are highly resistant to thermal shock, meaning they can withstand sudden and extreme changes in temperature without cracking or breaking.
