Overview

Micromechanics predicts improved thermal properties in silver nanowire-reinforced polymer composites, indicating a path for better thermal management.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the impact of silver nanowires on heat conduction in polymer nanocomposites based on a micromechanical model.
  • Developed a multiphase micromechanical model to evaluate thermal conductivity of AgNW-filled polymer materials.
  • Incorporated microstructural features such as length, diameter, and aspect ratio of AgNWs along with interfacial thermal resistance.
  • Predictive modeling through a unit cell-based approach and 3D representative volume elements to assess thermal conductivities.
  • Significant improvement in thermal properties of fiber composites with AgNWs compared to unreinforced composites.
  • Longitudinal thermal conductivity increases with fiber aspect ratio, while transverse conductivity remains unaffected.
  • Micro-mechanical predictions align well with experimental data, supporting model efficacy.
