A Study on The Heat Conduction in Polyester-Partially Stabilised Zirconia (PSZ) and Polyester-Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanocomposites
Main Article Content
Abstract
Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) serves as the matrix and two distinct metal-oxide nanoparticles are used as fillers in this work to investigate the thermal conductivity of nanocomposite systems. Alpha-PSZ (5mm) and ZnO (30-50nm) nanoparticles were utilised. Thermally conducting polymer nanocomposites have been developed as a consequence of the functionalization and synergistic insertion of thermally conducting nanoparticles into polymer matrices, such as carbon derivatives and metallic and ceramic fillers. The experimental data are then compared to the most recent models for predicting the thermal conductivity of composite materials, which demonstrates that the true values are vastly under represented by the traditional models.
