Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Triphenylene-based reactive discotic liquid crystals (DLC), HABET vinyl monomer and THBT thiol cross-linker, were synthesized and applied for the development of advanced heat transfer organic material (HTOM) as a continuous matrix. The thermal conductivity values of the polymerized DLC HTOMs was evaluated using the transient plane source (TPS) technique and laser flash analysis (LFA). The DLC HTOMs that were reported to have high thermal conductivity values and excellent mechanical and ...
In this study, researchers set out to test the performance of biocomposites reinforced with regenerated cellulose fibers and lactic acid thermoset bioresin. A difference in treatments was conducted as the cellulose fibers were surface treated with either silane or alkali. The main goal of this research was to improve the overall strength of the interactions at the fiber-matrix interface. Multiple strength tests, such as the tensile, flexural and impact strength ...
The thermal conductivities of paraffin-based composite phase change materials (PCMs) containing different types of graphene nanoparticles were determined using the transient plane source method. It was determined that the thermal conductivity was increased by the addition of the nanoparticles, and the enhancement was greater for composites containing larger, and stiffer nanoparticles....
The thermal conductivities of four composite paraffin phase change materials (PCMs) containing embedded multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with varying dimensions were determined. The goals of this study were to investigate the interfacial thermal resistance between two MWCNTs, and to investigate the ballistic and diffusive components of the thermal resistance at the interface. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the composite PCMs increased with the diameter of the MWCNT ...
