Student Name : Mohammed Adnan Hasan, S Rashmi, Title of the Paper : Evaluations of silica aerogel-based flexible blanket as passive thermal control element for spacecraft applications Research Description : The feasibility of utilizing commercially available silica aerogel-based flexible composite blankets as passive thermal control element in applications such as extraterrestrial environments is investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that aerogel blanket was thermally stable over – 150 to 126 °C. The outgassing behavior, e.g., total mass loss, collected volatile condensable materials, water vapor regained and recovered mass loss, was within acceptable range recommended for the space applications. ASTM tension and tear tests confirmed the material’s mechanical integrity. The thermo-optical properties remained nearly unaltered in simulated space environmental tests such as relative humidity, thermal cycling and thermo-vacuum tests and confirmed the space worthiness of the aerogel.

Student Name : Mohammed Adnan Hasan and Shubham Chavan Title of the Paper : Optical, electronic, and microstructural properties of mixed phase RF magnetron sputtered vanadium oxide thin films on quartz and aluminized quartz Research Description : Amorphous vanadium pentoxide (major phase) thin films of various thicknesses were grown on the substrates that possessed low (aluminized quartz) and high (quartz) infrared (IR) emittance property utilizing radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. Microstructural characterizations are carried out by several techniques such as noncontact optical profilometry, energy dispersive X‐ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD). The as‐grown amorphous films show stoichiometric vanadium oxide, where vanadium is in V5+ as a major proportion compared with V4+ states. Thermo‐optical properties, namely, solar transmittance (τs), reflectance (ρs), absorptance (αs) and IR emittance (εir) along with optical constant, for example, optical band gap, are evaluated.

Student Name : Poornanad Hiremath Title of the Paper : study on drying behaviour of hydratable alumina bonded high alumina castables by addition of different organic fibers pawan Research Description : The rho phase of alumina (ρ-Al2O3) commercially referred to as hydratable alumina (HA) is one of the popularly used no cement binders. The high surface area of HA when used as a binder in refractory castable creates a dense non-permeable structure. During firing of the castable, the water vapors get trapped in the impermeable structure and cause explosive spalling. In this study HA bonded high alumina castables were prepared by adding organic fibers. XRD analysis of ρ-Al2O3 at different temperature showed formation of η and θ phase before forming the stable phase α-Al2O3. SEM and EXD analysis confirmed the purity of HA. Castable containing organic fibers showed poor physical and mechanical properties at 120–1200 °C compared to castable without organic fiber. After firing at 1650°, all the samples showed approximately same values of BD, AP and CCS. Addition of organic fibers did not affect the thermal shock resistance (TRS) of the castable as all the castables showed similar trend. TG-DSC analysis of castable containing organic fibers showed weight loss due to phase transformation and dehydration of HA, and that of castable without organic fibers showed weight loss due to phase transformation and dehydration of HA as well as burning of organic fibers.
