Thermal Conductivity of Monodisperse Silica Nanospheres

Author(s): Arild Gustavsen, Bjorn Petter Jelle, Linn Ingunn C. Sandberg, Tao Gao

Monodisperse hollow silica nanospheres with an outer diameter of ~300nm were prepared for the comparison of thermal conductivity with similar solid silica nanospheres. It was found that the thermal conductivity ...
