Thermally Conductive Polymer Composites

Thermally Conductive Polymer Composites provides an important introduction to the key principles, methods and research directions of this emerging thermal management material category. The book introduces thermal conduction, measurement methods, thermal conduction mechanisms and models. Then, it reviews classification and processing techniques which impact thermal conductivity performance. Thermally conductive composites discussed in the book include intrinsically thermally conductive polymers, thermally conductive fillers, and thermally conductive polymer composites. The interfacial thermal resistance is thoroughly explained including basic concepts, theoretical research, and characterization. Finally the practical applications thermally conductive polymer composites are illustrated such as thermally conductive plastics, thermally conductive rubbers, thermally conductive fibers and so on. Thermally Conductive Polymer Composites is suitable for materials scientists and polymer scientists in academia and R&D. It may also be relevant for chemists, engineers, and physicists. Covers measurement methods, thermal conductivity mechanisms and models Introduces thermally conductive polymers, intrinsically thermal conductors, fillers, and composites, as well as interfaces Reviews the advances in classification and processing techniques
