“…Figure 4 shows the ratio de- ), with respect to the filler particle's length scale. This clearly illustrates that the length scale associated with the filler particles is crucial, and that for small particles the interface resistance dominates, as has been widely acknowledged in the literature [4,18,22,23,45,55,56]. More importantly, Figure 4 shows that the usage of highly conductive fillers, i.e., with thermal conductivity on the order of 1000 W·m -1 ·K -1 would require even larger filler particles before the interface resistance ceases to dominate.…”

“…A simple rule of mixtures argument would suggest that the thermal conductivity of a composite should be simply determined by the polymer thermal conductivity κ polymer the filler material's thermal conductivity κ filler and the respective fractions of each phase by volume where, φ is the filler's fraction, via Equation (1): (1) This is the simplest model one can employ for a multiphase system [12,13]. Given that there are many low cost filler materials with high thermal conductivity (e. g., on the order of 10-1,000 W·m -1 ·K -1 ) [14][15][16][17][18] that is at least two orders of magnitude higher than that of amorphous polymers, a body of research has been devoted to homogeneously disperse filler materials into polymer matrices [1,4,[18][19][20]. The problem, as illustrated in Figure 1 [4,13,14], however, is that although some substantial enhancement relative to the polymer is observed, the thermal conductivities of the composites are far from the predictions given by Equation (1) (shown as the diagonal line in Figure 1).…”

“…This is because LDPE has only a small volume of crystal lattice to transport thermal energy phonons (i.e., elastic vibration waves in crystal lattices). Moreover, phonons are susceptible to scattering in amorphous regions, where many free volumes, defects and boundaries exist (Huang, Jiang et Tanaka, 2011;Tsekmes et al, 2013). The thermal conductivity of LDPE/OmPOS (99/1) is decreased by 6%.…”

“…Polymers with high dielectric loss also have high leakage current since they convert electrical into thermal energy [44]. However, the electric field at breakdown is not improved or even slightly decreased due to the addition of nanofillers with different dielectric constant than that of the polymer matrix [8,44,45]. Figures 9 and 10 show a slightly different behavior of the analyzed samples under positive and negative dc polarity tests.…”
