Abstract :

Polymer composites with a high thermal conductivity are always desired for different applications. Improved thermal conductivity of polymers can be obtained via dispersion of metal particles in a polymer matrix. However a good dispersion and thermal coupling cannot be achieved. We have designed and developed a formulation with enhanced thermal conductivity of silicone and epoxy-based resin systems using graphene and boron nitride-based nanomaterials synthesized in our laboratories. The nanocomposites are characterized thoroughly and excellent thermal conductivity improvement was observed. A detailed data analysis with different characterization techniques will be discussed and demonstrated.
