TLDR
In this paper, the authors report on synthesis and thermal properties of the electrically conductive thermal interface materials with the hybrid graphene-metal particle fillers and show that the thermal conductivity of resulting composites was increased by ∼500% in a temperature range from 300 to 400 k at a small graphene loading fraction of 5-vol.-%.
Abstract
The authors report on synthesis and thermal properties of the electrically conductive thermal interface materials with the hybrid graphene-metal particle fillers. The thermal conductivity of resulting composites was increased by ∼500% in a temperature range from 300 K to 400 K at a small graphene loading fraction of 5-vol.-%. The unusually strong enhancement of thermal properties was attributed to the high intrinsic thermal conductivity of graphene, strong graphene coupling to matrix materials, and the large range of the length-scale—from nanometers to micrometers—of the graphene and silver particle fillers. The obtained results are important for the thermal management of advanced electronics and optoelectronics.

Thermal boundary resistance

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal boundary resistance at interfaces between helium and solids (Kapitza resistance) and thermal boundary resistances at interfaces interfaces between two solids are discussed for temperatures above 0.1 K. The apparent qualitative differences in the behavior of the boundary resistance in these two types of interfaces can be understood within the context of two limiting models of boundary resistance, the acoustic mismatch model, which assumes no scattering, and the diffuse mismatch model that all phonons incident on the interface will scatter.

Enhanced mechanical properties of nanocomposites at low graphene content.

TL;DR: Graphene platelets significantly out-perform carbon nanotube additives in terms of mechanical properties enhancement, and may be related to their high specific surface area, enhanced nanofiller-matrix adhesion/interlocking arising from their wrinkled (rough) surface, as well as the two-dimensional geometry of graphene platelets.
