Effect of graphene aerogel on thermal behavior of phase change materials for thermal management

Advanced multifunctional graphene aerogel – Poly (methyl methacrylate) composites: Experiments and modeling

“…10 2 S/m. The emergence of the GAs may provide a new type of reinforcement material to solve the aggregation problems in composites [23][24][25][26].…”

“…The GAs are prepared through the modified Hummers' and chemical reduction method from graphite [24]. PMMA is in situ polymerized from the MMA monomer and infiltrated into the pores of the GAs by capillary forces.…”

Highly Electrically Conductive Nanocomposites Based on PolymerInfused Graphene Sponges

“…Since the electrical and thermal conductivity of these composites strongly rely on electron and phonon percolation between the separated filler particles141516, a good dispersion of graphene sheets and high filler content are required to form a conductive interconnected network in the insulating polymer matrix to improve the conductivity of the composites17.…”

Electro/photo to heat conversion system based on polyurethane embedded graphite foam

“…But the thermal conductivities of the composites with GF were sharply increased to 3.5 W m À1 K À1 , 12 times enhancement to pure PEGs. Compared with other multi-functional skeletons [28][29][30], GF may become a better candidate as a matrix to enhance the thermal conductivity.…”

“…Recently, more attention has been paid to porous and conductive skeleton to encapsulate PCMs [27][28][29][30], which can make an electrically conductive composite with enhanced thermal conductivity. For example, (i) a significant enhancement of thermal conductivity was achieved by applying porous metal foams, which were nearly 15 times larger than that of pure paraffin [27]; (ii) a high thermal conductivity of 2.635 W m À1 K À1 was obtained from graphene aerogel/octadecanoic acid composite, which was 14 times higher than that of octadecanoic acid [28]. In previous work of our group, carbon nanotube sponge and carbon nanotube array were successfully utilized as porous matrix to encapsulate paraffin wax or eicosane.…”
