Thermal characteristics of polymer composites are similar to the properties of metal, with the mechanical properties being similar to plastics. Thermal conductivity of a polymer composite depends on geometry of the filler, and interaction and dispersal of the filler within the polymer matrix. In this study, thermal conductivity of copper and Al₂O₃ filled polymer composites were investigated. A Thermal Constant Analyzer was used to measure thermal conductivity of the ...
The focus of this research was to discover new thermally conductive ceramic/plastic composites for their use in thermal management. In this experiment, the thermal constants analyzer was used to measure the thermal conductivity of composite films containing hexagonal boron nitride particles and polyimide. Upon testing, a thermal conductivity of 7 W/mK with a 60% filler content was noted, as compared to a thermal conductivity of 5 W/mK for the plastic ...
