Effect of Alignment on Enhancement of Thermal Conductivity of Polyethylene–Graphene Nanocomposites and Comparison with Effective Medium Theory

Thermal conductivity (<i>k</i>) of polymers is usually limited to low values of ~0.5 Wm⁻¹K⁻¹ in comparison to metals (>20 Wm⁻¹K⁻¹). The goal of this work is to enhance thermal conductivity (<...
