Resin polymers, such as Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), have been used in denture fabrication because of their easy molding ability and flawless appearance. However, these PMMAs are not the most desirable material when dealing with mechanical strength, electrical conductivity and thermal stability. In this study, the ...
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 ...
In this study, expanded graphite (EG) was crushed and the resulting composites were filled with various amounts of EG using a melt-mix method. Thermal conductivity was then analyzed to investigate the possible synergistic enhancement through self-hybridization. Thermal conductivity was measured at an ambient temperature and ...
It was found that the thermal conductivity of composite materials is enhanced by the simultaneous incorporation of dispersed pitch-based carbon fibers (PCFs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). This study investigated methods for optimizing thermal conductivity. A thermal conductivity analyzer was used to compare thermal conductivity of ...
