Abstract EN
The present study attempts to investigate the influence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) on thermal conductivity (TC) of nanoreinforced polymers and nanomodified carbon fiber epoxy composites (CFRPs).
Loading levels from 1 to 3% wt.
of MWCNTs and from 1 to 15% wt.
of GNPs were used.
The results indicate that TC of nanofilled epoxy composites increased with the increase of GNP content.
Quantitatively, 176% and 48% increase of TC were achieved in nanoreinforced polymers and nanomodified CFRPs, respectively, with the addition of 15% wt.
GNPs into the epoxy matrix.
Finally, micromechanical models were applied in order to predict analytically the TC of polymers and CFRPs.
Lewis-Nielsen model with optimized parameters provides results very close to the experimental ones in the case of polymers.
As far as the composites are concerned, the Hashin and Clayton models proved to be sufficiently accurate for the prediction at lower filler contents.
