Facile fabrication of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and its enhancement on thermally conductive adhesive applied in heat dissipation devices 

The purpose of this study was to develop adhesive epoxy resins that used multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to enhance thermal conductivity and dispersion in the polymer matrix. An analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the MWCNTs-based epoxy adhesives using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the addition of MWCNTs improved the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin in comparison to pristine epoxy and epoxy (EP)...

Preparation and thermal properties of UV-curable polyacrylate-gold nanocomposite foams 

The purpose of this study was to fabricate and analyze the physical properties of polyacrylate–gold nanocomposites (PGNs) with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as their nucleation agents. The transient plane source (TPS) method was used to measure the thermal properties of the polyacrylate–gold nanocomposite foams (FPGNs) and PGNs. Results showed that the addition of GNPs improved thermal conductivity of the PGN materials, but as the size of GNPs increased, the ...

Mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of aluminum nitride/polyetherimide composites

In this study, aluminum nitride was treated with silane in an attempt to improve the performance of polyetherimide (PEI) composites. Various properties of the modified AlN/PEI composites were examined including the thermal conductivity by way of a thermal analyzer based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the AlN filler improved dispersion and interface of the matrix which enhanced the thermal conductivity of the PEI composites....

Influence of the nature of aggregates on the behaviour of concrete subjected to elevated temperature 

In this paper, the physical characteristics of concretes containing three types of aggregates were examined under high temperatures. A thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the concrete samples using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of well-crystallized concretes had a stronger inverse relationship with temperature than the poorly-crystallized samples did. As well, high-performance concretes retained their thermally conductive properties better than normal concretes....

Preparation and thermal performance of gypsum boards incorporated with microencapsulated phase change materials for thermal regulation 

Phase change materials (PCMs) store large amounts of latent heat over small temperature ranges, so their application in the thermal regulation of buildings is becoming more popular. However, PCMs have low thermal conductivities, so micro-encapsulated PCMs (micro-PCMs) are being incorporated into PCMs to enhance their performance and improve thermal conductivity. In this study, micro-PCMs were mixed with thermally conductive, inorganic gypsum powder and glass fiber to produce gypsum boards. The ...
