Thermal conductivities of powder‐filled epoxy resins

Abstract

Abstract Effective thermal conductivities of powder‐filled epoxy composites were experimentally obtained using a transient method. Fillers used were aluminum and cupric oxide. Comparisons of these data with published correlations indicate that Agari's model can give better fits. Nielsen's model may also give a good prediction of the shape of particles can be determined and values of parameters A and ϕm are available. An alternative method of dealing with parameter C 2 in Agari's model is suggested. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
