In fact, in a solid state the TC of semi-crystalline thermoplastics was greater with respect to melt state due to an increase of density upon the solidification. Dawson et al. In steady state condition, Fourier’ law (Eq. 483 Accesses. Chain length effect on thermal transport in amorphous polymers and a structure–thermal conductivity relation. The TC increased from 0.22 to o.93 W/mK for a filler content of 44% in vol. For example, in metals, the electronic contribution exceeds the phonon one; whereas in insulators, phonons contribution prevails over the electrons one [11, 12, 13, 14]. }, author={Zhitong Yao and Tao Chen and Hongling Li and M. Xia and Yiquan Ye and Huabao … Then, hybrid materials, consisting in two particles different in size and shape combined with the attempt to realize a synergistic effect and to support a conductive network in the matrix, have been investigated. The PP-Gr & PP-CB composites were prepared using extrusion and the hot compression mold technique. In the 1932, Debye introduced the concept of mean free path of thermal waves, simply called phonons, for explaining the thermal conduction in a dielectric crystal, in which the electrons are not free to move. 3 Materials Science and Engineering Program, University of … Despite the highest intrinsic TC of copper, surprisingly, the best result was obtained with talc. Small size and large surface area (for a given volume) of nanofiller are considered the key factors for the development of exceptional and unexpected properties with respect to macroworld as in the fields of mechanical properties, barrier resistance, flame retardancy, scratch/wear resistance, as well as optical, magnetic, TC and electrical properties [17]. The former assumes that all phonons propagate as a planar wave, so the transmitted energy is related to different acoustic impedances of two materials. In injection molding or extrusion, the greater would be the TC of the processed materials, lower would be the heating or cooling time and the operating costs of the overall processes. In improving the heat conduction of the plastics different efforts have been spent in the scientific research with the addition of fillers characterized by a TC superior to the matrix [12, 13, 14]. The association of these fillers in the matrix appeared always more effective in improving the tested feature compared to the potential of each single species. Amir Ershad‐Langroudi. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra indicated that PP/clay nanocomposites were successfully prepared. Finally, the development of carbon-based thermally conductive composites with low electrical conductivity was actualized by PP-based ternary formulations, combining CNTs (a thermal and electrical conductive filler) with additional thermally conductive, but electrically insulating, particles (ZnO,CaCO3, BN, and Talc) having different sizes and shapes [71]. A hybrid has been conceived as a mixture of two or more raw materials with own intrinsic properties and different shape and size (“A + B + shape + scale”) to enhance or diminish physical, mechanical, thermal and electrical properties, as stiffness or strength, and also to manipulate the percolation limit [64]. On the contrary, an opposite trend of the TC of PP against temperature was found by dos Santos et al. This approach is considered a successful tool for improving the compatibility and wettability between the two phases of the composite system, and affecting positively the dispersion and the interfacial resistance. Thermal conductivity of the polypropylene is increased from 0.27 up to 2.5 W/ (m K) with 30 vol% talc in the polypropylene matrix. Furthermore, the TC of PP in molten form was not significantly affected by temperature but it appeared to be a complex function of the molecular weight distribution and possible long chain branching [34]. A cubic polynomial trend of the TC as a function of the filler concentration was found, for all three families of nanocomposites. The thermal and electrical behaviour of PP matrix filled with two of copper particles (in micron dimensions), was investigated by Boudenne et al. The THWM (Figure 2d) implicates vertical or cylindrical geometry in which a wire, generally of platinum, is crossed by a constant electric current. From the above, the actualizing the anisotropy in a sample has implied an influence of its thermal transport behaviour. Beyond an increase encountered during this phase, the TC remained fairly constant with the temperature.

Heat transfer occurs at a lower rate in materials of low thermal conductivity than in materials of high thermal conductivity. 4・2‐1, the specific heat of polycarbonate changes with temperature but it can be considered that this is 1.09~1.17J/(g.k) (0.26~0.28cal/g.℃)for the practical temperature range.This value does not differ very much from the common synthetic resins and corresponds to about 3 times of iron and (6)), each phase contributes to final compounds properties proportionally to its volume fraction: where pcis composite property, piis the intrinsic property of each specific constituent and ϕiis their volume fraction in a composite system. On the contrary, the formulations containing pristine BN possessed a higher TC with respect to that prepared with modified one. The highest improvement of heat transport in PP was recorded with the introduction of two combined carbonaceous nano- and micro-particles. [56] studied the effect of filler functionalization on dispersion and TC of PP-based composites by adding, in the same resin grade, three different chemically treated surfaces (amino-and carboxyl-functionalized, and pristine one) CNTs. Extrusion, instead, is the single most popular process for forming PP in fibers, filaments, sheets and other products, depending on the die profile [4]. The TC is estimated, knowing the temperature profile on time (T(t)) and the heat output by Eq. Nowadays, recent scientific attention has been devoted to hybrid material defined as “a combination of two or more materials in a predetermined geometry and scale, optimally serving a specific engineering purpose”. In fact, plastics are one of the common materials for covering and protecting the electronic components or a better alternative to produce lighter vehicles with reduced fuel consumption. Thermal properties of new composites based on nanoclay, polyethylene and polypropylene. Our readership spans scientists, professors, researchers, librarians, and students, as well as business professionals. Moreover, during the cooling phase of these processes, sudden variation of TC could determine shrinkage, stress, delamination or voids in the final products [11]. In the last few decades, great attention has been devoted to polymeric nanomaterials, born from the introduction into the matrix of filler having at least one dimension in the order of 1–100 nm. The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to conduct heat. Finally, below 100 K, a growing tendency of TC against temperature has been verified. The properties of polypropylene depend on the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution, crystallinity, type and proportion of comonomer (if used) and the isotacticity. The authors concluded that the thermal transport could not be explained solely by the difference in the property of the materials but taking into account also the microstructure. Instead, the latter assumes that all phonons, colliding into the interface, are randomly scattered. * Correspondence: poe@ipfdd.de; Tel. For amorphous plastics at 0-200°C, the thermal conductivity lies between 0.125-0.2. The experimental testing showed that the heat conduction of the CPC heat exchanger was improved by a factor of 2 for the filler volume fraction of 25%. It is possible also utilized the standard DSC machine, without any special modification or calibration, by setting a specific temperature-time profile and recording the dynamic response of the sample [24]. In conclusion, in order to successfully employ the thermal conductive particles in composites for heat management applications, the realization of a conductive pathway through the particles (shown in Figure 3) has to be attained through optimal filler dispersion, good interfacial adhesion between filler-matrix and properly contact between particles. They concluded that, when the pressure was exercised on the sample, a stress in the longitudinal direction was generated, greater than in the radial direction, by leading to anisotropy of the properties in the tested material. Heat- deflection temperature - 0.45MPa C Heat- deflection temperature - 1.8MPa C Lower working temperature C Specific heat J K-1kg- 1. Due to an inevitable increase of power density, thermal management has become an important aspect linked to the ability to easily dissipate the heat [9]. Polypropylene is in many aspects similar to polyethylene, especially in solution behaviour and electrical properties. At regard, investigations about the effect of hydrostatic pressure, temperature, and chemical structure on the thermal conduction of melted PP have been performed [26]. Yet, the use of an extremely high percentage of reinforcement (approximately more than 30% in vol. However the advantages of using minerals in many polyolefin applications should not be overlooked. Air voids in the matrix of foamed concrete allow it to reduce the thermal conductivity and dry density; however, due to its reduced density, foamed concrete is prone to microcracking which results in loss of strength. Licensee IntechOpen. Mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene/recycled polyethylene terephthalate/chopped rice husk composites. [60] functionalized the surfaces of micrometric BN with a thin layer of polydopamine coatings (f-BN). Moreover, due to a higher TC of minerals with respect to the matrix, their addition also brought an increase of heat transport in the ultimate compounds. 6, 01069 Dresden, Germany; krause-beate@ipfdd.de (B.K. [30] performed measurements of heat conduction of PP at 300°K by changing pressure in the range between 0 and 37 bar. King et al.

To date our community has made over 100 million downloads. The physical consequence is a constriction of flux lines, responsible of the heat resistance best known as “thermal contact resistance” [54]. At an equal temperature, an increase of TC was always verified with pressure, approximately of 20% going from 20 to 120 MPa. For each pressure, the isobaric curve of TC as a function of temperature showed a “Z shaped”, probably attributed to a phase transition (crystallization during cooling). The highest value of the TC was recorded for the prepared mixtures containing the compatibilizer and functionalized filler. With its balance of chemical, thermal and electrical properties and good strength-to-weight ratio, this thermoplastic material is suitable for many applications. (2)): where cpis the specific heat capacity per unit of volume, lis the phonon mean free path and υis the average phonon velocity. Available from: Polymerization and Characterization of Mechanical and Thermal Properties, Enhancement of thermal conduction in polypropylene-based materials, Department of Chemical, Materials and Industrial Engineering, University of Naples-Federico II, Italy, Centro Regionale di Competenza Tecnologie, Italy. Significant reduction of electrical conductivity was achieved, despite the presence of CNTs, with the addition of smaller secondary species (BN and ZnO), while a further increment of the same feature was obtained with larger ones (CaCO3 and Talc). In fact, besides the filler type and its content, particles shape and size, their orientation and dispersion in polymeric matrix, the adhesion between the filler and the matrix and the thermal properties at the interface symbolized the acting parameters to optimize the desired feature [12]. Wm -1 K -1. Unfortunately, most polymers are thermally insulators and an augment of their TC represents one of the challenges of the recent scientific research for the coming benefits in the emerging heat exchangers applications, and also in the electronic and automotive technologies. Different efforts have been spent in literature in the improvement the heat conduction of PP, by the addition of inorganic fillers (metallics, carbon-based, ceramics and minerals) in micro- or nano-size, one-, two- or three-dimensional, with a higher thermal transmission compared to the pristine resin. According to the rule of mixture (Eq. Results showed that, in ternary formulations, an increase of TC was always verified for all kinds of secondary particles, in particular through the union of CNTs with BN. Schematic of the heat conduction along particles forming a percolated network. However, an efficient dispersion or/and a perfect alignment of the inorganic filler, particularly for nano-sized, in the matrix represented a real challenge during the process due to van deer Waals interactions between individual particles that push to the aggregation and randomly disposition [55]. [27]. Furthermore, if the particles were oriented in the direction of applied force or heat, their full potential could be achieved both in terms of load and energy transport. This meant that nanoscale unique properties could not be reproduced easily on the macroscale probably for non-continuum effects at filler-polymer interfaces [51]. (4)) [20]: where d is the sample’s thickness and t1/2 is the time required for the signal to reach the 50% of its maximum value. Among the carbonaceous fillers, given the extremely high intrinsic TC, the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been also considered [44]. Content uploaded by Antonella Patti. Results showed that the addition of GP fairly improved the crystalline, thermal stability and conductivity of the PP. Yet, higher TC measurements were verified in the presence of microparticles, in particular with layered shape (talc); the same results have never been reached by adding nanoparticles. We are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291 institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of the world’s most-cited researchers. [25] and Osswald et al. Since the polymeric structure order of the amorphous is lower than of the crystalline, the related thermal behaviour of the former has been expected to be lower compared to the latter, and also TC temperature dependence has changed in different ways depending on substance state. <> endobj It was also conducted thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) on PP and HMPE fibers. This attitude was confirmed in the case of injection molding and extrusion [32] or foaming [33] processes during which a macromolecular orientation of polymer chain was inferred. Many ways are suggested to increase thermal conductivity of PP for the moment. In the temperature range of 2–100 K the TC of polypropylene was evaluated by Choy et al. ), is needed to achieve the TC values in the composites, required for the modern technologies. K) (increase to 193% related to pure PP) by the addition of 2.5 vol% CNT. <>/ExtGState<>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 612 792] /Contents 4 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 0>> In details, below the glass temperature, as the temperature grew up, the TC of the amorphous remained the same or increased with temperature (probably for the effect of raising chain mobility), while for crystalline the TC initially remained the same and then diminished. In general, the common approach for enhancing the thermal transport behaviour of plastics foresees the addition of thermally conductive particles. The TC remained almost the same as the temperature increase until it decreased during melting due to a possible breakup of crystalline regions. Conversely, the introduction of ceramic fillers allowed acting on heat transfer of the neat matrix without compromising the electrical insulation of the starting material [39]. [41] by adding into PP two types of boron nitride (BN) with different particle size in micron. (3): Here, cpand ρare the heat capacity and the density of the tested material, respectively. In this work, the thermal conductivity of polypropylene (PP) was increased by adding thermally conductive fillers, which were boron nitride (BN) and titanium dioxide (TiO 2). The final properties of hybrids could be a combination between the features of the individual constituents or a result of synergism, intended as a total effect greater than the sum of each component, due to a joint action between fillers, supplied by distinct geometry of shape, aspect ratio as well distribution [65]. Che et al. This review was devoted to summarizing the main literature studies about TC of polypropylene and the recent developments of heat transport ability in PP based compounds. ( 1999). Thermal conductivities of the filled polypropylene samples are compared with the modelled values according to Hashin and Shtrikman. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat from one part of a body to another with which it is in contact. We are IntechOpen, the world's leading publisher of Open Access books. Thus, particles perfectly dispersed in the matrix with a minimized interfacial resistance would not seem anyway the best solution in the perspective of an advantageous heat transport because in this situation the particles would exchange heat only with the matrix and not among themselves. For example, in the case of polyolefins, maleic anhydride is commonly grafted to polypropylene for improving the filler-matrix interface through both physical and chemical interactions, as covalent linkages and hydrogen bonds [59]. For most of thermoplastics, the TC at 25°C falls in the range of 0.11 W/mK (for polypropylene) and 0.44 W/mK (for high density polyethylene) [17]. In other words, the thermal network could also be get among the same aggregates that behave like larger-size conductive particles without interfaces by actualizing a sufficiently reduced MID. <> The TC of polypropylene has been measured in the range approximately between 0.1 and 0.2 W/mK, but different parameters as polymer cristallinity, chain structure and orientation, processing conditions and methods, temperature and pressure have played a positive or negative role on its thermal transport behaviour. Partially crystalline thermoplastics have ordered crystalline regions and hence better conductivity. Thermal Conductivity of Polypropylene-Based Materials, Polypropylene - Polymerization and Characterization of Mechanical and Thermal Properties, Weiyu Wang and Yiming Zeng, IntechOpen, DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.84477. If the acoustic impedances between materials are very different, the phonons scattering will contribute to further increase the thermal resistance [53]. Then, maleic anhydride grafted PP (PP-g-MA) was also employed as the compatibilizer in the compounds for helping the covalent bonds with polydopamine. The mechanical features (storage and loss modulus) and thermal ones (thermal conductivity, melting and crystallization temperature) were analyzed. endobj However, the first approach is more time consuming and not suitable for shaped samples as concentric cylinder or sphere. Abstract. It’s based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most importantly, scientific progression. PA 6, 6 - 30% CFR 14 - 260 - - 0.51 120-200. The TC of polymers is affected by several factors as crystallinity, chemical constituent, bond strength, molecular weight, side pendent groups, defects or structural faults, processing conditions and temperature [14]. This led to an intensification of power and a significant heat flow that can negatively affect the lifetime and reliability of the device, if it is not opportune dissipated away in time [8]. Thus, if the first method for improving the compatibility filler-matrix is the modification of the filler surface by using functional groups or coupling agents, the other method consists in the modification of the matrix by grafting reactions of different chemical groups. Most of the TC measurements of polymers have been carried out at atmospheric pressure, which is far from the operating process conditions. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. In this case, when heat flows normally from a hotter body to colder one, interstitial spaces between contact points limit the thermal conduction that takes place only between effective connections. Polymers are thermal insulators, and due to defects, grain boundaries, and/or scattering with other phonons the mean free path of phonons (l) is very low and consequently also their TC [16]. Patti et al. Box 14965/115, Tehran, Iran===Search for more papers by this author. The TC was increased from pure PP by 64% for the sample containing the highest filler loading (15 phr). The same value of thermal conductivity was also achieved for the PP/7.5 vol% GNP composite, but both samples differ significantly in their electrical resistivity. They found that by increasing the content, the distance between fillers could be reduced and the development of conductive structure was attained. In this work, the authors aimed to provide an overview about the thermal conductivity of polypropylene, of its related compounds and the main methods of measurement. They found that the TC increased, according to the BN content and the larger size of the filler. Polypropylene (PP)/clay nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ intercalative polymerization with TiCl 4 /MgCl 2 /clay compound catalyst. 3 Altmetric. Mussel-inspired approach was attempted to non-covalently functionalize the surfaces of boron nitride (BN) with self-polymerized dopamine coatings in order to reduce the interfacial thermal barrier and enhance the thermal conductivity of BN-containing composites. At steady-state, the TC is evaluated by measuring the difference in temperature and applying the Eq. Finally, also differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been considered as a technique for measuring the TC of solid materials. Since the mean phonon free path of the polymer is less than that of the particle, the efficiency of the thermal conduction would not be satisfactorily achieved except by a network of interconnected particles that carry heat among themselves [14]. A radial heat flow takes place around the wire that spreads in the tested sample. In an internal combustion engine, an elevated heat transfer affects performance, efficiency and emissions because it reduces the average combustion gas temperature and pressure, and the work per cycle transferred to the piston, for a given mass of fuel within the cylinder [10]. To counteract the development and propagation of microcracks, polypropylene (PP) fibres are used to reinforce the foamed concrete. The thermal contact resistance is attributed to phonons losses during heat transmission from one medium to another and is qualitatively described by two limiting models: acoustic mismatch model (AMM) and the diffuse mismatch model (DMM), representing the upper bound and lower bound of thermal boundary resistance, respectively. [11]. The thermal conductivity of systems based on polypropylene, filled graphite and carbon black have been studied. Two solid bodies, which are apparently in contact, actually touch together only in a few points due to their roughness and geometrical defects. The effect of acting pressure on TC of polypropylene seemed to be always positive, probably for the induced stress in a longitudinal direction that led to anisotropy of the tested feature. Yet, the overall heat transmission coefficient in polymer heat exchangers had been lower with respect to that obtained by metals and different approaches have been suggested to improve the heat transport in this field. In the FM (Figure 2c), a short but intense energy pulse is sent to one side of the sample and the temperature increase is measured on the opposed side in function of time. 49 Citations. 1 Thermal conductivity of polymers and polymer nanocomposites Congliang Huang,1,2 Xin Qian,2 and Ronggui Yang2,3, * 1 School of Electrical and Power Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, P.
