The current paper deals with the measurement and prediction of thermal conductivities for plain weave fabric composites. An experimental apparatus was setup to measure the temperature gradients from which the thermal conductivities were obtained. The thermal conductivities were also calculated using finite element analyses for plain weave unit cell models and then compared with experimental results. In addition, the effect of a phase shift and the fiber volume fraction in the tow on the thermal conductivities was addressed.

ABSTRACTAluminum nitride (AIN), alumina and aramid fibers have been incorporated into epoxy and fluoropolymer matrices. The fluoropolymer composites have dielectric constants less than 3.4 and losses below 0.3%, measured out-of-plane. In-plane and out-of-plane thermal conductivities of the AIN-fluoropolymer composites averaged 5.2 and 1.3 W/mK, respectively, at fiber volume fractions of 0.26 to 0.29. In-plane thermal conductivities of woven fabric composites were accurately predicted by mixing rules; for non-woven and short fiber composites, thermal conductivities were less than predicted. These composites had higher out-of-plane thermal conductivities due to out-of-plane components of the fiber orientations.
