Description
Summary:The sheet samples of thermally exfoliated graphite (TEG) carbon nanotubes (CNT) composites (TEG CNT cs) were obtained by persulphate oxidation using chemical (CO) and electrochemical (anode) oxidation (ECAO). Electron microscopy reveals multi layered structures of few layer graphene nanosheets with folded and tubular like fragments.Electron microscopy reveals multilayered structures of few layer graphene nanosheets with folded and tubular like fragments. The effective thermal diffusivity values were estimated by nonstationary photo-pyroelectric thermophysical characterization using the heat pulse and thermo-wave modulation methods. Comparison with other carbon (C) based thermal management materials shows that TEG CNTcs exhibit thermal diffusivity, effusivity and conductivity comparable with those of actual C polymer and C C composites. For TEG CNT cs, evaluated values of phonon mean free path (MFP) and relaxation time (RT) are in the ranges estimated for defective graphene. The values of diffusivity and effusivity, MFP and RT are lower for denser TEG CNT cs obtained by ECAO and are higher for less dense TEG CNT cs obtained by CO. The obtained diffusivity and effusivity values designate TEG CNT cs as suitable thermal management materials.
