This article studied the thermal conductivity values and measurements for the following two systems using the transient hot wire (THW) and transient plane source (TPS) techniques
This article explored the thermal behavior of epoxy nanocomposites containing different types of nanofillers, such as 1-D Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and 2-D predominant shape of Exfoliated Graphite nanoparticles (EG). The thermal conductivity measurements were conducted using a thermal constants analyzer which is based on the transient plane source (TPS) technique. The measurements indicated that better heat conduction is found in epoxy systems loaded with 2-D predominant shape of Exfoliated Graphite (EG) nanoparticles. This is a promising result for overcoming a critical drawback of composite materials that are often characterized by their low thermal conductivity which negatively impacts their use in the design of anti-icing systems.
The article investigated the hybridization of multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with filler in polymer matrix composites (PMC) which is one of the techniques used to combine different properties of fillers to make more unique composites. The properties of two different hybrid filler composites (Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) hybrid filler and physically hybrid filler) were then studied. The thermal conductivity was measured through the use of a Thermal Constant Analyzer which utilized the transient plane source (TPS) method. The phenolic composites that were filled with the CVD hybrid filler increased the thermal conductivity of the composite when compared to the physically hybrid filler.
