Thermal conductivity of neat-epoxy resin is one of the lowest among all known solid materials. A common method of increasing thermal conductivity is through the addition of filler particles with high thermal conductivity. In this study, epoxy resin composites were studied to assess the possibility ...
The purpose of this this study was to graft polymer chains onto the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to examine the morphology and thermal properties of the epoxy composites in comparison to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). A thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the ...
Adding metallic nanoparticles to a conventional fluid increases the thermal conductivity of the solution. In this study, flaked boron nitride (BN) and high-aspect-ratio multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to epoxy composites to increase thermal conductivity. A thermal analyser measured the thermal conductivity of the ...
Four different cationic surfactants were allowed to adsorb on boron nitride (BN) over the pH range of 5.5 to 8 in separate experiments. The authors talk about the orientation of the surfactant relative to the BN particles. The use of these surfactants has changed the partial ionic ...
