3DSG incorporated into a polyimide matrix greatly enhanced its thermal conductivity (up to 2.63 W m−1 K−1), approximately a 10-fold enhancement in comparison with that of neat polyimide.

Waste heat is a major energy loss in manufacturing facilities. Thermally conductive polymer composite heat exchangers could be utilized in the ultralow temperature range (below 200° C) for waste heat recovery. Fused deposition modeling (FDM), also known as three-dimensional (3-D) printing, has become an increasingly popular technology and presents one approach to fabrication of these exchangers. The primary challenge to the use of FDM is the low-conductivity of the materials themselves. This paper presents a study of a new polymer-Zn composite designed for enhanced thermal conductivity for usage in FDM systems. Thermal properties were assessed in addition to basic printability. Filler volume percentages were varied to study the effects on material properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken of the 3-D printed test pieces to determine filler orientation and filler distribution. Lastly, experimentally obtained thermal conductivity values were compared to the theoretical thermal conductivity values predicted from the Lewis-Nielsen model.

Natural graphite flakes possess high theoretical thermal conductivity and can notably enhance the thermal conductive property of polymeric composites. Currently, because of weak interaction between graphite flakes, it is hard to construct a three-dimensional graphite network to achieve efficient heat transfer channels. In this study, vertically aligned and interconnected graphite skeletons were prepared with graphene oxide serving as bridge and support via freeze-casting method. Three freezing temperatures were utilized, and the resulting graphite and graphene oxide network was filled in a polymeric matrix. Benefiting from the ultralow freezing temperature of −196 °C, the network and its composite occupied a more uniform and denser structure, which lead to enhanced thermal conductivity (2.15 W m−1 K−1) with high enhancement efficiency and prominent mechanical properties. It can be significantly attributed to the well oriented graphite and graphene oxide bridges between graphite flakes. This simple and effective strategy may bring opportunities to develop high-performance thermal interface materials with great potential.
