Effect of nano-fillers on the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites with micro-Al2O3 particles

Fabrication of graphene oxide–alumina hybrids to reinforce the anti-corrosion performance of composite epoxy coatings

“…A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 5 Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrum samples were obtained using infrared spectroscopy with KBr pellets as the sample matrix. The crystal structure of the dried products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) with Copper Kα radiation source at a scan rate of 2°/min.…”

“…Unfortunately, these epoxy resins are inherently brittle, and micro-pores are inevitably produced in service due to the solvent evaporation when fabricating the high temperature curing epoxy solvent-borne coatings, which may reduce hardness and anti-corrosion performance. Thus, extensive studies have been conducted to toughen epoxy resins using thermoplastics, rubbers, and nanofillers [5][6][7][8]. However, thermoplastic and rubber toughening methods require a substantial amount of toughener, e.g.…”

Reduced Water Permeability of Biodegradable PCL Nanocomposite Coated Paperboard Packaging

“…Silica nanofiller incorporated in polymer composites can be used for enhancement of viscosity in paints, adhesives, etc 12 . It is important to mention that high content of nanofillers can result in high density and poor mechanical properties of polymers 13 . The addition of 0.05 wt% of silica nanofillers improved mechanical properties due to their good dispersion in PLA matrix.…”

Preparation and characterization of silicon nitride (SiN)-coated carbon fibers and their effects on thermal properties in composites

“…In electronics engineering in particular, malfunctions, degraded reliability, and reduced device lifetimes resulting from the high heat generation caused by device miniaturization have increased the interest in and demand for materials that can effectively control generated heat [9][10][11][12][13][14]. High thermal conductivity is required to efficiently remove heat from a device, and materials with high conductivity can be classified as metals, ceramics, and carbons [12].…”
