Nanocomposites are formed by combining conducting polymers and inorganic nanoparticles. In this study, nanocomposites of Ni-Zn ferrite were tested to determine the variation in their thermal properties. A thermal analyzer was used to measure thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of the composites using the transient ...
The effective thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity were investigated for polyaniline (PANI) composites containing iron and manganese at varying temperatures. Composites were prepared containing 100% Fe, 50% Fe and 50% Mn, and 100% Mn. It was determined that both the effective thermal conductivity and effective thermal diffusivity increased with ...
Four electrically conductive polymers were tested for their thermal transport properties to better understand their degradation mechanism with temperature. The samples that were tested were polyaniline polymers doped with varying amounts of nickel and aluminum. It was found that the thermal conductivities increased as the ...
