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<sup>−1</sup>K<sup>−1</sup> in comparison to metals (>20 Wm<sup>−1</sup>K<sup>−1</sup>). The goal of this work is to enhance thermal conductivity (<...
