This paper discusses thermal conductivity measurements on homogenous and non-homogenous materials, using three transient methods: Laser Flash Method (LFM), Modified Hot Wire (MHW), and the Transient Plane Source (TPS). This article also compares the non-destructive nature of the MHW, and the TPS methods, to the destructive nature of the LFM. Research conducted on homogenous materials produced comparable results using all three transient methods. However, when testing non-homogenous materials, such as ...
The focus of this research was to discover new thermally conductive ceramic/plastic composites for their use in thermal management. In this experiment, the thermal constants analyzer was used to measure the thermal conductivity of composite films containing hexagonal boron nitride particles and polyimide. Upon testing, a thermal conductivity of 7 W/mK with a 60% filler content was noted, as compared to a thermal conductivity of 5 W/mK for the plastic ...
