This article investigates the effects of improving thermal conductivity of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) /expanded graphite (EG) composites using the ball milling method. PVDF is widely used in the field of thermal conductivity due to its superior mechanical properties, chemical resistance, and oxidative stability. Thermal conductivity of the composites was measured, using the transient plane source method. Results showed thermal and electrical conductivities of PVDF/GNSs composites improved due to larger ...
Thermal conductivity measurements of the same samples were carried out using the TPS method. Thermal testing on carbon nanotubes to study for promising fillers. Thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes should enable a further reduction in the filler content required for a given enhancement in the composite properties. For the multi-walled carbon nanotube thermal conductivity increased modestly using this method whereas for the single-walled carbon nanotubes the thermal conductivity was ...
