Thermal conductivity of low density polyethylene composite with spongy iron

Abstract EN

Low density polyethylene resins are widely used in the insulator plastic industry.

In this study, composite of polyethylene are prepared with (0, 6,12,18,24) wt% of oxidizer spongy iron balls (bad quality) after change it to fine powder (425 m) by mixing together with different ratios then using thermal press machine to produce sheets of specimens with different percentage and using dielectric thermal insulator machine.

The thermal conductivity has been recorded to the composite material.

The thermal conductivity have been slightly increase with the increase the spongy iron powder percent due to increasing molecules vibration and phonons which is a principle of changing thermal conductivity .
