Thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of flax fiber–HDPE biocomposites at processing temperatures (2008, methodology): “Some theoretical and empirical models have been proposed to predict the thermal conductivity of composites, including parallel [8], series [8], Maxwell [22], Russell [22] and others.”
Review of natural fibre-reinforced hybrid composites (2018, background): “Kalaprasad et al. 79 also evaluated the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of sisal-reinforced polyethylene (SRP), glass-reinforced polyethylene (GRP) and sisal/glass hybrid fibre-reinforced polyethylene (GSRP) at cryogenic to high temperatures (120-350 K).”
Effect of Particle Shape on Thermal Conductivity of Copper Reinforced Polymer Composites (2007, background): “Applications include encapsulations, die (chip) attach, thermal grease, thermal interface material, and electric cable insulation [6,7].”
Properties of cryogenic and low temperature composite materials – A review (2020, background): “Some authors documented glass and carbon fibre epoxy composites to have about 10% higher conductivity in the longitudinal direction, compared with the transverse direction [48,225,226], others reported that this is an order of magnitude for carbon fibre/epoxy [227], and that it can be two orders of ”
