Thermal conductivity enhancement of lauric acid phase change nanocomposite with graphene nanoplatelets (2015, unknown): “Recent molecular dynamics simulations show that the presence of graphene/CNT in alkane induces a more orderly structural arrangement while reducing nucleation time upon crystallization [31,32].”
Temperature-dependent thermal properties of a paraffin phase change material embedded with herringbone style graphite nanofibers (2015, background): “However, the physical mechanisms that govern heat flow at these interfaces are still not well understood, though they have been attributed to discrepancies in the interface chemistry [38] and atomic ordering at nanoparticle interfaces [39,40].”
Enhanced thermal conductivity in polymer composites with aligned graphene nanosheets (2014, result): “Although the investigation on the direct alignment of GNSs in the polymer matrix is still in the early stage, both experimental [13–15] and theoretical studies [16] on the aligned GNS/ polymer composites indicated that alignment can make best use of their extraordinary inplane properties.”
