These absorber plates are interfaced with the TEG using a very thin layer (less than 1 mm) of Arctic Silver 5 thermal conductive paste which a Thermal conductivity of 8.9 W/mK (Product Page: Arctic Silver 2015).
Next, with the aid of a syringe and a needle (18 G), thermal conductive paste (KERATHERM® KP97, thermal conductivity 5 W/m.K, Kerafol GmbH, Germany) was injected air-bubble-free into the enlarged pulp horns.
The use of the thermal conductive adhesive could also guarantee good thermal conductivity of the designed panel.
These clusters with relatively large size could form some effective thermal conductive networks, thus to cause the thermal conductivity enhancement [30], which is the cause of this anomaly.
The increase in thermal conductivity is more likely due to the thermal conductive network formed by EG (Sobolciak et al. 2016).
CuO microdisks with large aspect ratio could increase the particle-to-particle contact, thus formed some effective thermal conductive networks, in turn resulting in high thermal conductivity enhancement.
It is due to the ultra-long length and large aspect ratio, which facilitates the formation of effective thermal conductive networks, resulting in great enhancement of thermal conductivity.
The significant improvement in thermal conductivity was related to the generation of effective 3D thermal conductive pathways formed by 2D graphene and 1D alumina in the composite.
Adding thermal conductive filler is an effective method to improve the thermal conductivity of polymer matrix.
One approach toward preparing highly thermal conductive polymeric materials is to embed fillers with high thermal conductivity, such as traditional silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, and boron nitride microparticles.
A simple method of constructing a 3D thermal conductive pathway is developed to improve the through-thickness thermal conductivity of CFRP laminated composites.
