Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were prepared by using varying concentrations of copper particles and tested thermally via tribologically via an M-2000 friction and abrasion testing machine. A copper concentration below 10 wt.% didn't affect the thermal properties of the POM composite but using higher concentrations resulted in improved thermal conductivities. Using a copper concentration of 25 wt.% resulted in a thermal conductivity value 35.9% higher than unfilled POM. In addition to the improved thermal ...
