In this study, various filler loadings of thin graphite sheets were added to epoxy adhesives to improve thermal conductivity. Natural graphite powder and graphite nanoflakes were used as reference fillers in the same resin, and the thermal conductivity of each filler was measured with a TPS thermal constants analyzer based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the graphene sheets enhanced the thermal conductivity by more than 22 ...
Seasonal thermal storage based on phase change materials (PCMs) require a thermally conductive host because they typically have low thermal conductivities. In this study, tannin-based composite carbon foams were prepared using thermally conductive exfoliated graphite (EG) fillers and pMDI additives. A thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the samples using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the EG-carbon foams and the EG/pDMI-carbon foams showed significantly ...
The purpose of this this study was to graft polymer chains onto the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to examine the morphology and thermal properties of the epoxy composites in comparison to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). A thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the addition of Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to the MWCNTs/epoxy composites significantly enhanced thermal ...
Thermally conductive pressure-sensitive adhesives (TC-PSA) are used in electronic devices and industrial applications. This paper examined how particle size, shape, and the addition of a coupling agent (GSP) affected the thermal conductivity of TC-PSA. A thermophysical properties analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the particle-filled polymer using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of the particles increased with diameter and aspect ratio, and the ...
Despite its fragility, poor thermal properties, and high water sorption rates, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used in denture fabrication. This study aimed to examine how the addition of Aluminum oxide nanoparticles affected the properties of PMMA. A thermal constant analyzer measured the thermal properties of the Al2O3 nanoparticles using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of acrylic resin improved ...
