“…Chen et al 27 performed modelling analysis on the thermal conductivity enhancement of polymer composite (epoxy) with hybrid filler (hybrid single walled carbon nanotubes and graphite nanoplatelets). The simulation results showed that with the mass fraction ratio of 2 for the above two fillers and the total filler content of 20%, the maximum effective thermal conductivity is equal to 9W/mK.…”

Due to their low cost, light weight and corrosive resistant features, polymer heat exchangers have been intensively studied by researchers with the aim to replace metallic heat exchangers in a wide range of applications. This paper reviews the development of polymer heat exchangers in the last decade, including cutting edge materials characteristics, heat transfer enhancement methods of polymer materials and a wide range of polymer heat exchanger applications. Theoretical modelling and experimental testing results have been reviewed and compared with literature. A recent development, the polymer micro-hollow fibre heat exchanger, is introduced and described. It is shown that polymer materials do hold promise for use in the construction of heat exchangers in many applications, but that a considerable amount of research is still required into material properties, thermal performance and life-time behaviour.

“…To compensate for this limitation, various ongoing studies are being conducted on methods to increase composite thermal conductivity, either through surface reformation of the carbon fibers or by enhancement of the interfacial bonding between the carbon fibers and the polymer using a coupling agent [7,[17][18][19][20]. Generally, the thermal conductivity of a composite is enhanced by factors such as the heat conductivity of the polymer itself; the shapes and types of the inorganic particles; the filler size and arrangement; and the interfacial bonding between the filler and the polymer [21][22][23]. The thermal conductivity of a composite increases with filler content but, ultimately, the mechanical properties of the composite are degraded [9].…”

“…After all the geometric parameters in the above‐described section are given or solved, the anisotropic TC of the unit cell can be calculated by the thermal resistance (TR) method . Taking the TC calculation of the unit cell in the ξ direction as an example, the unit cell is divided into three parts along the ξ direction, as shown in Fig.…”

Hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) can remarkably enhance the thermal conductivity (TC) of polymer composites, while maintaining high electrical insulation. In this article, the previously developed analytical model, which can simultaneously solve the anisotropic TC of polymer composites containing aligned h‐BN platelets, was improved by introducing a power function to define the polymer thickness ratio in the unit cell. The modified model was validated by an excellent agreement with the experimental results from three independent literatures, in which the samples were prepared by either casting (including tape casting and spin casting) or injection molding. The influence of key parameters on the composite TCs was analyzed. It was found that the power n closely relates to the possessing methods for the polymer composites, which are also well correlated with the behavior of anisotropic TC. POLYM.
