Abstract

Thermally conductive polymer composites offer new possibilities for replacing metal parts in low temperature heat exchangers, thanks to the polymer advantages such as light weight, corrosion resistance and ease of processing. Current interest to improve the thermal conductivity of polymers is focused on the selective addition of nanofillers with high thermal conductivity. Unusually high thermal conductivity makes carbon nanotubes (CNT), graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and few layer graphenes (FLG) the best promising candidate particles for thermally conductive composites [1-4]. However, to exploit the potential of such nanoparticles, both the dispersion of nanoparticles, quality of nanoparticles and the properties of thermal interfaces between nanoparticles has to be carefully designed and controlled [1] to reach significant increase in thermal conductivity.
