TiO₂ nanowire formation and GO reduction through a hydrothermal reaction to improve the thermal conductivity of epoxy composites

Abstract

The thermal path must be properly configured to improve the thermal properties of polymer composites. Three-dimensional (3D) thermally conductive networks can be used as an excellent means for building high-speed conductive pathways in polymer composites. Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) nanowire (NW)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/ epoxy (EP) composite material has a 3D foam structure and focuses on TiO 2 NW formation and rGO gelation through a hydrothermal process. The thermal conductivity
