Anisotropic Thermal and Electrical Properties of Thin Thermal Interface Layers of Graphite Nanoplatelet-Based Composites

Thermal interfacematerials (TIMs) are crucial components of high density electronics and the high thermal conductivity of graphite makes this material an attractive candidate for such applications. We report an investigation of the in-plane and through-plane electrical and thermal conductivities of thin thermal interface layers of graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) based composites. The in-plane elect...

Preparation, Characterization, Thermal and Electrical Conductivity Properties of PVDF Composites

Using PVDF and ZrO2, polymer composites were prepared by sol gel method. Various measurements such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the composites. Thermal and electrical properties of the composite samples were studied. The conductivity of composites was found to increase with increase in temper...

Structural, thermal and electrical properties of polyaniline/CrO3 composites

The paper describes the synthesis and characterization of polyaniline (PANI)/CrO3 composites. Samples of PANI/CrO3 composites were synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline added with various weight % of CrO3 in the presence of ammonium persulphate as an oxidant. The samples were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM...

Structure and Properties of Wood/ Polypropylene Composites

Composite wood products have traditionally relied on thermosetting polymers like phenol-formaldehyde and urea-formaldehyde resins as binders. The continuing need to effectively utilize lignocellulosic fiber from lowquality hardwoods and from recycling streams has prompted consideration of new composites based on thermoplastic polymers [ 1,2]. Much of the development effort has focused on commod...
