Abstract

Present investigation focuses on numerical and experimental studies on thermal conductivity of polymer nanocomposites reinforced with graphene particles. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) a process of Additive Manufacturing (AM) is used to develop nanocomposite specimens for analysis of thermal conductivity. Polycarbonate (PC) – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) was taken as matrix material in definite proportion and Graphene was added in different weight proportions. The mixture was developed into filament of 1.75 mm through the process of compounding and extrusion. The test samples were developed through FDM. Experimental results were compared with well known mathematical models for thermal conductivity test from the literature. The variation of thermal conductivity behaviour with varied percent of graphene is elaborately discussed in this study.
