... estimating the interfacial resistance and the thermal conductivity of the constituent CNTs, we conclude that our experimental and modeling approaches can be used to study thermal transport behavior in nanotube–polymer composites. carbon nanotubes filled polymers nanocomposites percolation thermal...

... thermal properties aluminum nanocomposites Reactive materials are defined here as a composite consisting of a metal fuel and metal oxide or fluoropolymer used as an oxidizer. One of the most important thermal characteristics of a reactive material is the thermal conductivity, which is a property...

...Y. Xu; G. Li In this paper, we propose the use of Si/Ge nanocomposite materials to improve the performance of microthermal actuators. Nanocomposites with a high electrical to thermal conductivity ratio can facilitate a rapid temperature change within a short distance, enabling a high...
