Thermal adhesives that contain large proportions of high thermal conductivity filler materials are extremely useful in electronics and manufacturing. Due to the importance of these fillers it is crucial to know their exact properties. Five adhesives are examined for their thermal conductivities. These values were obtained using a guarded heat flow meter with a method following the ASTM test standard. This method ...
This article explored the thermal behavior of epoxy nanocomposites containing different types of nanofillers, such as 1-D Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and 2-D predominant shape of Exfoliated Graphite nanoparticles (EG). The thermal conductivity measurements were conducted using a thermal constants analyzer which is based on the transient plane source (TPS) technique. The measurements indicated that better heat conduction is found in epoxy systems loaded with 2-D predominant shape of Exfoliated ...
The article investigated the hybridization of multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with filler in polymer matrix composites (PMC) which is one of the techniques used to combine different properties of fillers to make more unique composites. The properties of two different hybrid filler composites (Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) hybrid filler and physically hybrid filler) were then studied. The thermal conductivity was measured through the use of a Thermal Constant Analyzer ...
The present study investigates the experimental characterization of cementitious materials combined with four different carbon nanofillers; multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), carbon black (CB) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). Measurements of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were carried out using the Transient Plane Source (TPS) technique. MWCNTs were found to influence thermal conductivity when they were aligned, compared to randomly distributed. GNP paste exhibited the highest thermal conductivity....
In the present study, boron nitride/dicyclopentadiene bisphenol cyanate ester/bisphenol A dicyanate ester (BN/DCPDCE/BADCy) composites were investigated for the effects of filler mass on thermal and mechanical properties. Thermal conductivity was measured using an instrument by transient plane source method. With the addition of BN fillers for BN/DCPDCE/BADCy composites, the BN-BN connections of inner composites increased and formed more thermally conductive channels, resulting in improved ...
