Graphite Nanoplatelet Filler-Modified Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Thermal Transport Enhancement
DownloadFall 2017
The use of polymers in applications such as electronic packaging, heat exchangers, and thermal pastes is limited by their inability to dissipate accumulated heat effectively. Nano-scale filler modifiers may be used to improve the transport of thermal energy through polymer materials. Studies of...

Polymers may absorb fluids from their surroundings via the natural phenomenon of swelling. Dimensional changes due to swelling can affect the function of polymer components, such as in the case of O-ring seals and microfluidic components. An understanding of the swelling behaviour and means for...
