During a melt blending process, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were added to a poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Boron nitride (PVDF/BN) composite, to increase the thermal conductivity of this polymer composite, for uses in the electronic industry. After this process, the thermal and electrical conductivities, along with any microstructure changes were investigated. It was determined that with the addition of CNTs, the thermal conductivity rating of the composite increased, as well as ...
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....
