Design of High Thermal Conductivity Particle Filled Polymer Using Effective Thermal Conductivity Models

Article Preview

Abstract:

The context of this work is the enhancement of the thermal conductivity of polymer by adding conductive particles. It will be shown how we can use effective thermal conductivity models to investigate effect of various factors such as the volume fraction of filler, matrix thermal conductivity, thermal contact resistance, and inner diameter for hollow particles. Analytical models for lower bounds and finite element models will be discussed. It is shown that one can get some insights from effective thermal conductivity models for the tailoring of conductive composite, therefore reducing the amount of experimental work.
