Effect of nanosized carbon black on the morphology, transport, and mechanical properties of rubbery epoxy and silicone composites

Rubber carbon black (CB)/rubbery epoxy (RE) and CB/silicone composites with different types, loadings, and silane functionalization of carbon black were prepared. These composites were investigated for their electrical conductivities, and their mechanical properties. The thermal conductivity of each composite was also determined using a thermal constants analyzer. It was determined that the incorporation of carbon black into the composites increased the thermal conductivity in all of the samples. ...

Effect of processing technique on the transport and mechanical properties of vapour grown carbon nanofibre/rubbery epoxy composites for electronic packaging applications

Electronics packaging is fast paced area of research as scientists work to keep up with the new demands of smaller, more powerful electronic devices. In this study, researchers looked at how the manufacturing technique used to create vapour grown carbon nanofiber  (VGCNF)/rubbery epoxy composites affects the thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of the final product. Samples were produced by one of three methods: mechanical mixing (MM), three-roll ...

Characterisation of graphite nanoplatelets and the physical properties of graphite nanoplatelet/silicone composites for thermal interface applications

Through the dispersion of graphite nanoplatelets in a silicone matrix and mechanical mixing, graphite nanoplatelet/silicone composites were prepared. These composites were subsequently analyzed by the transient plane source (TPS) technique in order to determine thermal conductivity. DSC and XRD were used to further characterize the composites....
