Thermophysical Properties of Matter - the TPRC Data Series. Volume 13. Thermal Expansion - Nonmetallic Solids

The TPRC Data Series published in 13 volumes plus a Master Index volume constitutes a permanent and valuable contribution to science and technology. This 17,000 page Data Series should form a necessary acquisition to all scientific and technological libraries and laboratories. These volumes contain an enormous amount of data and information for thermophysical properties on more than 5,000 different materials of interest to researchers in government laboratories and the defense industrial establishment. Volume 13 in this 14 volume TPRC Data Series covers 11 nonmetallic elements including 62 varieties of graphite, 61 simple oxides, 76 complex oxides, 48 salts, 140 nonoxide compounds, five groups of ceramics, 11 groups of cermets, 15 kinds of glasses, 60 polymers, and 15 groups of composites. The data for about half of these materials have been critically evaluated, analyzed, and synthesized, and recommended reference values or provisional values are presented together with the original experimental data.
