Adding metallic nanoparticles to a conventional fluid increases the thermal conductivity of the solution. In this study, flaked boron nitride (BN) and high-aspect-ratio multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to epoxy composites to increase thermal conductivity. A thermal analyser measured the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that adding a small volume of MWCNT to the epoxy composite significantly improved thermal conductivity ...
