Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
This article explored the recent discoveries that have been made regarding the thermal conductivity of polymeric nanocomposites. The thermal conductivities were found using several methods: comparative method, laser flash method, stable state method, the "two thermometer-one heater" method, line-source method and transient plane source (TPS) technique. The TPS technique was used measure the thermal transport properties of nanocomposites in a copolymer matrix....
This article is a review of the methods for measuring thermal conductivity including both steady state and transient methods. The article describes the experimental setup for each method, and it gives a brief description of the theory of each method. A review of models that have been developed for the prediction of thermal conductivity of polymeric nanocomposites is also presented....
