Largely Enhanced Thermal Conductivity and High Dielectric Constant of Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Boron Nitride Composites Achieved by Adding a Few Carbon Nanotubes

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 and Electrical Conductivity of Single- and Multi-walled Carbon nanotube-epoxy Composites 

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 ...
