Preparation of low-density polyethylene/low-temperature expandable graphite composites with high thermal conductivity by an in situ expansion melt blending process

Low-temperature expandable graphite (LTEG) was blended into low-density polyethylene (LDPE) to prepare composite materials with an enhanced thermal conductivity in comparison to pure LDPE. The thermal conductivity of a composite containing 60 wt. % LTEG was found to be increased by a factor of 23 in comparison to the pure polymer. The LTEG was also found to decrease the melting temperature and degree of crystallinity of the LDPE, and the composites were also ...

Effects of inclusion size on thermal conductivity and rheological behavior of ethylene glycol-based suspensions containing silver nanowires with various specific surface areas

The effects of silver nanowire size on the thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol-based nanofluids were investigated experimentally. The effects of altering the loading concentration of nanowires, and altering the temperature were also investigated. In addition to this, an investigation into the effects of the nanowire dimensions on the rheological properties of the nanofluids was also conducted. Theoretical models were then developed based on the experimental results....

Effective thermal conductivity and diffusivity of GeSeSb glasses measured simultaneously as a function of temperature and fit to empirical equations

The effective thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity was measured for chalcogenide glass samples of the formulation Ge30-xSe70Sbx (x = 10, 15, 20, 25). It was found that both the effective thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were independent of temperature up to 160º C. After this point, both properties were found to increase with increasing temperature until they reached a maximum value at a point near the glass transition temperature of the glass. After reaching ...

Low-temperature thermoelectric characteristics of Ca32xYbxCo3.95Ga0.05O9+d (0 < x < 0.10)

The thermoelectric properties of Ca3-x­­YbxCo3.95Ga0.05O9+delta where x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.05, and 0.10 were determined at temperatures less than 300 K. It was determined that the partial substitution of Yb3+ for Ca2+ resulted in an increase in resistivity and thermopower. The thermal conductivity was found to decrease with increasing Yb3+ content, and the sample producing the highest thermoelectric figure of merit at 300 K was the x = 0.05 sample....

High temperature thermoelectric properties of co-doped misfit-layered cobaltites

The thermoelectric properties of the co-doped misfit-layered cobaltites of Ca3-x­AgxCo3.95Fe­0.05O9+delta (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) were investigated at temperatures between 300 and 700 K. It was found that the thermopower increased with increasing temperature. The thermal conductivity was found to increase with increasing Ag+ content in the samples, and the highest calculated figure of merit was determined for the Ca2.8Ag0.2Co3.95Fe0.05O9+delta....
