In this study, effective thermal conductivity of nanocomposites containing thermally conductive aluminum nitride (AIN) nanoparticles reinforced with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was investigated. Measurements were performed using a Thermal Constant Analyzer. The authors found that effective thermal conductivity of HDPE/AIN composites with 20 vol.% of AIN nanoparticles shows an enhancement by about 40%, compared to pure HDPE at 30°C....
La0.7Ba0.15Sr0.15MnO3 (LBSMO) powder was prepared and mixed with HDPE powder in volume fractions from 0 to 0.30. These powders were then molded into pellet form in a hot press and cooled to room temperature. The thermal conductivity of the resulting composite was then measured using the transient plane source method. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the composite samples increased with increasing LBSMO content up to an ...
