Abstract Extended micron-scale structures were produced in thermoplastic melts from initially large clusters of conducting carbon black particles transported by three-dimensional chaotic mixing. The structures formed networks that were captured by solidification and rendered the composite materials electrically conducting. A systematic study was carried out to assess the influence of key parameters and relate the electrical properties to the microstructures. Micrographs showed complex structures exhibiting patterns characteristic of chaos. Electrical measurements indicated that conductivity was achieved at carbon black concentrations significantly lower than achievable by common mixing methods, and lower than reported recently for two-dimensional chaotic mixing.

Present paper aims to analyze three-dimensional (3D) motion of an electrically conducting nanofluid past an exponentially stretching sheet. Both metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (such as Cu, Al2O3, TiO2) in the base fluid (water) are examined. Nonlinear ordinary differential systems are obtained by suitable transformations. The crux of the analysis is the development of an estimated analytical result obtained by employing the “Adomian Decomposition Method” (ADM), an approximate analytical method. Momentum and energy descriptions with prescribed boundary conditions are employed. The velocity components and temperature are analyzed. Tabulated values are organized aimed at the outcomes of skin-friction coefficients and Nusselt number. Comparison with past limiting results is shown. Finally, the outstanding outcomes of the present result are; the velocity profile with the inclusion of particle concentration and magnetic parameter decelerate significantly and Al2O3 nanoparticles are favorable for the enhancement in the rate of heat transfer.
