In this study, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and multi-walled carbon nanotube fillers (MWCNT) were simultaneously added to a polycarbonate matrix, in an attempt to improve thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivities of the composites were measured at room temperature. Results show that MWCNTs can improve thermal conductivity by ...
Nano-sized materials with large aspect ratios are found to be effective as second fillers for the formation of 3D thermally conductive networks in polymer composites. In this study, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was incorporated as second filler for polymer composites. A thermal analyzer was used ...
In this study, expanded graphite (EG) was crushed and the resulting composites were filled with various amounts of EG using a melt-mix method. Thermal conductivity was then analyzed to investigate the possible synergistic enhancement through self-hybridization. Thermal conductivity was measured at an ambient temperature and ...
It was found that the thermal conductivity of composite materials is enhanced by the simultaneous incorporation of dispersed pitch-based carbon fibers (PCFs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). This study investigated methods for optimizing thermal conductivity. A thermal conductivity analyzer was used to compare thermal conductivity of ...
