Enhanced thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy composites filled with silver nanowires and nanoparticles

The authors have investigated the use of silver nanomaterials as a filler in epoxy resin in an effort to identify a composite resin with a high thermal conductivity for application as a thermal interface material. It was determined that the addition of silver nanoparticle and silver nanowires both increased the thermal conductivity of the resin, but the silver nanowires caused a much more drastic increase. It was found that by ...

Thermal conductivity and dynamic mechanical property of glycidyl methacrylate-grafted multiwalled carbon nanotube/epoxy composites 

The purpose of this this study was to graft polymer chains onto the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to examine the morphology and thermal properties of the epoxy composites in comparison to multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). A thermal analyzer measured the thermal conductivity of the nanocomposites using the transient plane source (TPS) technique. Results showed that the addition of Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to the MWCNTs/epoxy composites significantly enhanced thermal ...

Mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of aluminum nitride/polyetherimide composites

In this study, aluminum nitride was treated with silane in an attempt to improve the performance of polyetherimide (PEI) composites. Various properties of the modified AlN/PEI composites were examined including the thermal conductivity by way of a thermal analyzer based on the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that the AlN filler improved dispersion and interface of the matrix which enhanced the thermal conductivity of the PEI composites....

Synergetic effect of hybrid boron nitride and multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites

Adding metallic nanoparticles to a conventional fluid increases the thermal conductivity of the solution. In this study, flaked boron nitride (BN) and high-aspect-ratio multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to epoxy composites to increase thermal conductivity. A thermal analyser measured the thermal conductivity of the nanofluids using the transient plane source (TPS) method. Results showed that adding a small volume of MWCNT to the epoxy composite significantly improved thermal conductivity ...

Mechanical and thermal properties of polylactide-grafted vapor-grown carbon nanofiber/polylactide nanocomposites

Vapor-grown carbon nanofiber (VGCF) was functionalized by the covalent bonding of polylactide (PLA) in order to generate a composite known as PLA-g-VGCF. This is a multiple step process and does not produce the same composites as regular melt compounding (VGCF/PLA). This new composite was characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, TGA and TEM in order to quantify and qualify the newly prepared composites, which showed 'remarkable improvement' over the melt ...
