Enhanced thermal conductivity of epoxy composites filled with silicon carbide nanowires

Abstract: In this study, we report a facile approach to fabricate epoxy composite incorporated with silicon carbide nanowires (SiC NWs). The thermal conductivity of epoxy/SiC NWs composites was thoroughly investigated. The thermal conductivity of epoxy/SiC NWs composites with 3.0 wt% filler reached 0.449 Wm−1 K−1, approximately a 106% enhancement as compared to neat epoxy. In contrast, the same mass fraction of silicon carbide micron particles (SiC MPs) incorporated into epoxy matrix showed less improvement on thermal c… Show more

“…The filler content is the most frequently discussed influential factor, and only a very few studies have explored the temperature influence. A recent work shows that the κ of epoxy composites containing 3 wt% of SiC NWs increases with temperature . Figure b summarizes the thermal conductivity of polymer composites reinforced by different ceramic nanofillers.…”

“…Gu et al [26,27] fabricated the corresponding thermally conductive SiC/PS composites by the method of Belectrospinning-laminating-hot press.T he addition of 32.8 vol% SiCp could improve the λ value of pure PS from 0.182 to 0.566 W/mK. Shen et al [173] reported a facile approach to fabricate epoxy composites incorporated with silicon carbide nanowires (SiC NWs) and silicon carbide micron particles (SiC MPs), respectively. The λ value of the SiC NWs/epoxy composite was increased to 0.449 W/mK with 3.0 wt% SiC NWs, higher than that of the SiC MPs/epoxy composite filled with the same addition of SiC MPs.…”
