In this article, the effects of size and confinement at the nanometre size scale on both the
melting temperature, T m, and the glass transition temperature, T g, are reviewed. Although …

Knowledge of the mechanical properties of clathrate hydrates is central for studying the
mechanical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments, their associated applications in …

Engineering of materials with specific physical properties has recently focused on the effect
of nano-sized 'guest domains' in a 'host matrix'that enable tuning of electrical, mechanical …

The climate system is changing globally, and there is substantial evidence that subsea
permafrost and gas hydrate reservoirs are melting in high-latitude regions of the Earth …

Understanding the thermal and mechanical properties of CH4 and CO2 hydrates is essential
for the replacement of CH4 with CO2 in natural hydrate deposits as well as for CO2 …

As a promising new energy source, natural gas hydrates (NGHs) have attracted wide
attention. The thermophysical properties of NGHs are of great significance to their …

The thermal conductivities κ of the crystalline phases and amorphous solid states of water as
well as clathrate hydrates are summarized and discussed. In particular, this review concerns …

The lattice constants of hydrogenated and deuterated CH 4-, CO 2-, Xe-(clathrate structure
type I) and N 2-hydrates (clathrate structure type II) from 10 K up to the stability limit were …

To date, very little is known about the distribution of natural gas hydrates in sedimentary
matrices and its influence on the seismic properties of the host rock, in particular at low …

Raman spectroscopic measurements of simple hydrogen and tetrahydrofuran+ hydrogen sII
clathrate hydrates have been performed. Both the roton and vibron bands illuminate …
