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 ...
The effects of intrinsic thermal conductivity, carbon filler geometry, and interface thermal resistance on the effective thermal conductivity of polymer composites were investigated. It was found that the length of carbon fillers and the interface thermal resistance were the dominant factors in determining the effective ...
Thermally conductive pressure-sensitive adhesives (TC-PSA) are used in electronic devices and industrial applications. This paper examined how particle size, shape, and the addition of a coupling agent (GSP) affected the thermal conductivity of TC-PSA. A thermophysical properties analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the particle-filled ...
One way to increase the thermal conductivity of a conventional fluid is to add solid particles to the liquid. Aluminum nitride (AlN) is an effective thermal conductor so it is popularly used to fabricate nanofluids. In this study, 20 nanometer particles of AlN were distributed into ...
The authors prepared a series of carbon nanotube (CNT) nanorefrigerants with varying size and amount of nanotubes to determine how these properties affect thermal conductivity. A TPS Instrument was used to measure thermal conductivity of the nanorefrigerants; R113 was used as a host nanorefrigerant. It ...
