Using a three-roll mill process, graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) were dispersed in a silicone polymer for application as a thermal interface material. Through the use of electron microscopy and XRD, the researchers were able to determine that the GNPs dispersed better when using the three-roll milling process as compared to previously used methods. GNPs were mixed with the silicone polymer in wt.% up to 25, with the highest wt.% yielding the highest ...
The addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) to a paraffin-based solvent, eicosane was performed at various wt.% and subsequently the synthesized GNP/eicosane composites were analyzed by a variety of machines. The characterization of the GNP/eicosane composites was performed by the TPS technique for the measurement of thermal conductivity from 10°C to 35°C. At a wt.% of 10 GNP filler the composite had a thermal conductivity four times that of unfilled ...
The TPS technique was used to measure the thermal conductivity of three different steel samples, which allowed the researchers to analyze the steel critically. Specifically look at was the dependence of thermal conductivity on temperature from room temperature up to 300°C. The obtained results were compared values obtained from other research groups....
The present study look at the creation of unfilled and carbon nanofibre (CNF)-filled polypropylene (PP) foams, and their subsequent testing of thermal and mechanical properties. The testing of thermal properties was accomplished by the TPS Technique and determined that when using up to 20 wt.% CNF as filler there was no increase in thermal conductivity of any of the sample foams. Therefore it was decided that it was the foamed ...
Through the use of the salt-leaching pore forming method, a series of sintered nickel capillary wicks with variable porosity and pore characteristics were synthesized. The thermal conductivities of these wicks (both dry and wet) were evaluated by the transient plane source (TPS) method. The factors that affect thermal conductivity were found to be the porosity and the pore size distribution....
