Improved thermal conductivity of epoxy resin by graphene–nickel three-dimensional filler

Owing to high thermal conductivity, carbon nanotube and graphene have been used as nanofillers to improve the thermal conductivity of polymer. However, the agglomeration of nanofillers in polymer inhibits their applications in improving the thermal conductivity of composite. To overcome this problem...

description Owing to high thermal conductivity, carbon nanotube and graphene have been used as nanofillers to improve the thermal conductivity of polymer. However, the agglomeration of nanofillers in polymer inhibits their applications in improving the thermal conductivity of composite. To overcome this problem, graphene was grown on Ni foam by chemical vapor deposition in this work. And graphene–nickel three-dimensional filler was added into epoxy resin to improve the thermal conductivity of epoxy resin. Ni foam can prevent the agglomeration of graphene in epoxy resin and a thermally conductive network by graphene and Ni foam was formed in epoxy resin. By adding graphene–nickel three-dimensional filler into epoxy resin, the thermal conductivity of graphene–nickel/epoxy composite can reach up to 2.6549 W·m−1·k−1, which was 9 times higher than that of raw epoxy resin.
