An analytical solution of the problem of the thermal conductivity of a suspension containing core–shell particles was found. Solutions were found under the thickness of the shell tending to zero while the thermal conductivity of the shell was tending to zero and infinity. In the first case, the solution is shown to be equivalent to the solution that takes into account Kapitza interfacial thermal resistance. The role of contact Kapitza resistance in the processes of the thermal conduction of nanofluids is discussed.

Abstract Photoacoustic visualization of nanoparticles is capable of high contrast imaging at depth greater than that of traditional optical imaging techniques. Identifying the impact of various parameters on the photoacoustic signal is crucial in the design of effective medical imaging and diagnostics. Here, we develop a complete model of Fourier heat conduction incorporating the interfacial thermal resistance and photoacoustic equation for core-shell nanospheres in a fluid under nanosecond pulsed laser illumination. An analytical solution is obtained, elucidating the contribution of each region (core, shell, or the fluid) in the generation of the photoacoustic signal. The model reveals that the sharper the laser pulse temporal waveform is, the higher the sensitivity of the generated photoacoustic signal will be to the interfacial thermal resistance, and, thus, the higher the possibility of photoacoustic signal amplification will be using silica-coating. The comprehensive model and adopted analytical solution reveal the underlying physics of the photoacoustic signal generation  form core-shell nanosphere systems.

A micromechanics approach for assessing the impact of an interfacial thermal resistance, also known as the Kapitza resistance, on the effective thermal conductivity of carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites is applied, which includes both the effects of the presence of the hollow region of the carbon nanotube (CNT) and the effects of the interactions amongst the various orientations of CNTs in a random distribution. The interfacial thermal resistance is a nanoscale effect introduced in the form of an interphase layer between the CNT and the polymer matrix in a nanoscale composite cylinder representative volume element to account for the thermal resistance in the radial direction along the length of the nanotube. The end effects of the interfacial thermal resistance are accounted for in a similar manner through the use of an interphase layer between the polymer and the CNT ends. Resulting micromechanics predictions for the effective thermal conductivity of polymer nanocomposites with randomly oriented CNTs, which incorporate input from molecular dynamics for the interfacial thermal resistance, demonstrate the importance of including the hollow region in addition to the interfacial thermal resistance, and compare well with experimental data.

AbstractRapid development of energy, electrical and electronic technologies has put forward higher requirements for the thermal conductivities of polymers and their composites. However, the thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) values of prepared thermally conductive polymer composites are still difficult to achieve expectations, which has become the bottleneck in the fields of thermally conductive polymer composites. Aimed at that, based on the accumulation of the previous research works by related researchers and our research group, this paper proposes three possible directions for breaking through the bottlenecks: (1) preparing and synthesizing intrinsically thermally conductive polymers, (2) reducing the interfacial thermal resistance in thermally conductive polymer composites, and (3) establishing suitable thermal conduction models and studying inner thermal conduction mechanism to guide experimental optimization. Also, the future development trends of the three above-mentioned directions are foreseen, hoping to provide certain basis and guidance for the preparation, researches and development of thermally conductive polymers and their composites.

Abstract The most common non-granular fillers are sheet and fiber. When they are distributed along the heat flux direction, the thermal conductivity of composite increases greatly. Meanwhile, the filler contact also has large effect on the thermal conductivity. However, the effect of filler contact on the thermal conductivity of composite with directional fillers has not been investigated. In this paper, the combined effects of filler contact, content and orientation are investigated. The results show that the effect of filler orientation on the thermal conductivity is greater than filler contact in low filler content, and exact opposite in high filler content. The effect of filler contact on fibrous and sheet fillers is far greater than cube and sphere fillers. This rule is affected by the filler contact. The filler content of 8% is the ideal percolation threshold of composite with fibrous and sheet filler. It is lower than cube filler and previous reports. The space for thermal conductivity growth of composite with directional filler is still very large. The effect of interfacial thermal resistance should be considered in predicting the thermal conductivity of composite under high Rc (>10-4).
