This research article proposes the use of a thermal constants analyzer to measure thermal properties of relatively thin samples. Five different metallic samples containing copper, aluminum and brass were used to test the accuracy of the new and improved method. Previously, this method has been used to test the thermal properties of thin metallic sheets, however with the new and improved method, it is possible to measure samples with thicknesses ...
Thermal conductivity testing was done on nitrogenated ultrananocrystalline diamond films on silicon. Temperature dependence on thermal conductivity was measured using these two techniques. A decrease in thermal conductivity was observed with the introduction of nitrogen addition. It was observed that MCD had the highest thermal conductivity followed by UNCD at 25% nitrogen and UNCD at 0% nitrogen....
Thermal conductivity measurements of the same samples were carried out using the TPS method. Thermal testing on carbon nanotubes to study for promising fillers. Thermal conductivity of single-walled carbon nanotubes should enable a further reduction in the filler content required for a given enhancement in the composite properties. For the multi-walled carbon nanotube thermal conductivity increased modestly using this method whereas for the single-walled carbon nanotubes the thermal conductivity was ...
