Copper powder was used a filler and added to a polyamide matrix in order to generate copper reinforced polyamide composites. The copper powder came in three different forms: short fibers, plates and spheres. The short fibers were added to the polyamide matrix at a vol.% ...
In this article, researchers studied the effect of particle shape on the thermal conductivity of copper reinforced polymer composites. Short-fiber shaped polyamide composites with filler content ranging from 0 to 30 % were measured, alongside of polyamides containing 0 to 60 % filler, shaped as spheres and plates. When the filler ...
