Theoretical accuracy of anisotropic thermal conductivity determined by transient plane source method

This article studied the potential thermal conductivity deviation of anisotropic materials using a numerical simulation. Anisotropic thermal conductivity may experience deviation due to its noncompliance of the theoretical assumption of the transient plane source (TPS) method. The TPS method was used to measure the in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivities of anisotropic materials where the volumetric heat capacity was known. It was found that the TPS method could be used to ...

Thermal conductivity models for single and multiple filler carbon/liquid crystal polymer composites 

Adding conductive fillers to polymer resins improves the thermal conductivity of the polymers. In this study, Thermocarb TC-300 synthetic graphite and Fortafil 243 carbon fiber were added to Vectra A950RX liquid crystal polymer (LCP) to produce anisotropic single and multiple filler composites. A Thermal Constants Analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the composites using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. The formulations that contained Thermocarb fillers had higher in- and ...
