This paper focuses on thermal conductivity and heat deflection temperature (H DT) of Epoxy-oMMT, Epoxy-Ti02 and Vinyl ester-oMMT nanocomposites with 2, 5 and 7 wt. % were prepared using high shear mixing technique with suitable curing cycles and operating speed. The thermal conductivity and HDT was measured using the Unithermo model 2022, as per ASTME-1530 (2011) and Tinius Olsen as per ASTM D -648(2007) at 1-8 Mpa of loading. The thermal conductivity and HDT increases with the addition of oMMT and Ti02 nanofiller indicating the formation of a percolative heat sink pathway. Further, thermal conductivity and HDT data obtained both from experiment and analytical estimations have shown good agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
