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 ...
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 ...
