In this paper, natural rubber (NR)/graphene (GE) composites were prepared using an ultrasonically-assisted latex mixing and in situ reduction (ULMR) process. A thermal constants analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the NR/GE composites using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that GE had a good thermal conductivity, and can be used as a thermal conductivity enhancer in polymers....
Two series of nanofluids were prepared by the researchers, using water as the carrier fluid, and Al2O3 and TiO2 as the nanoparticles; up to 6% particle volume fraction was used. The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the nanofluids were measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique, and dynamic viscosity was also measured. The amount of nanoparticle volume fraction affected the value of thermal conductivity, but the nanoparticle cluster ...
