The authors have presented a study on the effect of interface thermal resistance on thermal conductivity in carbon nanofiber (CNF) composites. Upon measuring the thermal conductivities of nanocomposites with varying filler concentrations, it was found that the measured thermal conductivities were much lower than those ...
Nanocomposites of polyaniline nanofibers reinforced in epoxy were prepared and their ultrasonic velocities, ultrasonic attenuations, and thermal conductivities were measured over a temperature range of 298-373 K. It was found that the ultrasonic velocity decreased with increasing temperature, but increased with increasing concentration of polyaniline ...
The authors outline a method of enhancing the thermal properties of a paraffin phase change material through the addition of herringbone-style graphite nanofibers (HGNFs). It was found that the solid-phase thermal conductivity increased exponentially with the presence of HGNFs; however, a significant increase in the ...
