The performance of porous composite materials in thermal energy storage and management applications can be engineered by controlling the relationship between the heat transfer mechanism and the structure of these materials. Analytical thermal conductivity models are essential tools to study and manage such structure/heat transfer relations in porous composite materials. This study develops an analytical thermal conductivity model for porous composites with colloidal matrix morphologies. The model developed here is a modified series-parallel model that considers important structural parameters such as the system's porosity, the colloidal size of the matrix, and the filler's aspect ratio. Moreover, essential effects in the structure of porous composites, including the gas-solid coupling effect and contact length of particles, are also included in the model developed here. In addition, this model can be used in a wide range of porosity and can predict the thermal conductivity of porous composites with appropriate accuracy by changing temperature, pressure, specific surface area, porosity, and other textural properties. Novolac/graphene oxide nanocomposite aerogels with different contents of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets in the structure were prepared and used to study the validity of the data calculated using the developed model. Our results confirmed that
