The authors propose a fast and novel method for the synthesis of polyaniline nanofibers and their incorporation into DI-water as a nanofluid. The thermal conductivities of the nanofluids are measured from 10 °C to 80 °C by using the transient plane source (TPS) method. The particle loading amount of nanofibers affected the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the physical properties of the nanofibers....
Researchers in this study aimed to develop polymer composites with high thermal conductivity, using polystyrene (PS) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). These composites were prepared by ultrasonic radiation, through a simple-solution-evaporation method. Poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA), with a benzene group and experiencing a strong affinity for PS was used as a base, to allow the MWNTs to be dispersed within the composite (MWNT-g-SMA). Results determined that the addition of MWNTs ...
