Enhanced thermal conductivity of SiCp/PS composites by electrospinning–hot press technique

Double percolation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in polystyrene/polylactic acid blends

“…Moreover it also avoids the issue of waste solvents disposal. For multiphasic immiscible blends, the addition of nanoparticles can result in a remarkable enhancement of thermal and electrical properties [13,14]. From a morphological point of view, the fillers can show an affinity with one of the components of the blend, tending to concentrate selectively into one of the phases or at the interface between two phases [15][16][17][18].…”

Enhanced thermal-conductive and anti-dripping properties of polyamide composites by 3D graphene structures at low filler content

“…With the increasing of filler content, the thermal conductivity of composites increased slowly until the filler fraction reached a percolation threshold where a rapid increase in conductivity started [8]. Fillers had to form a random close-packed structure to maximize a pathway or network for heat conduction through the polymer matrix [9,10]. In the past researches, the effects of type, shape and size of fillers and interface thermal resistance on thermal performance of composites have been fully addressed.…”

Structure evolution and orientation mechanism of isotactic polypropylene during the two‐stage solid die drawing process

“…In order to overcome these challenges, numerous innovative processing routes in the solid state have been developed, in which the polymers are processed below the crystalline melting point for crystalline polymer or above the glass transition temperature for amorphous polymer . Compared with other orientation processes, such as free solid drawing and electro spinning, significant improvements in modulus, impact properties, and strength can be achieved by die‐drawing without chemical reaction, additives, or complex processing apparatus . Simultaneously, not only relatively high production rates and high orientation degree can be achieved but also this process route is starting to find applications in many areas such as rods, sheets, and pipes, more recently thicker and more complex shapes …”
