Study on insulating thermal conductive BN/HDPE composites

In this article, researchers set out to determine the thermal characteristics of boron nitride reinforced high-density polyethylene composites. Various filler contents were studied through thermal characterization and it was determined that the composites containing 30% filler elicited the best thermal insulation and mechanical properties. The results displayed that the lower the filler content, the higher the thermal conductivity of the reinforced composite. Researchers also concluded that the smaller the boron nitride ...

Dispersion behavior and thermal conductivity characteristics of Al2O3-H2O nanofluids

The field of nanofluids is relatively new, however researchers in this article aimed to research their thermal conductivity and dispersion behaviours. A nanofluid consists of free-floating, solid nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid. Specifically, Al2O3-H2O nanofluids were investigated in this study. Using a thermal constants analyzer, the thermal conductivities of various modifications of nanofluids were measured. Research concluded that pH and concentrations of SDBS dispersants have a ...

Enhanced Thermal Conductivity of Polymer Matrix Composite via High Solids Loading of Aluminum Nitride in Epoxy Resin

The need for higher thermal conductivity fillers, such as aluminum nitride, to deal with an increase in the heat output from future semiconductors has arisen, as most of them are now packaged in a silica epoxy polymer composite. Thermal conductivity testing was performed on the aluminum nitride composite using a thermal constants analyzer and the highest reading was 3.39 W/mK, approximately 15 times higher than pure epoxy. Based on the results, ...
