Notes:
In efforts to improve the thermal conductivity (TC) of Ultem™ 1000, it was compoundedwith three carbon based nano-fillers. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), vapor grown carbonnanofibers (CNF) and expanded graphite (EG) were investigated. Ribbons were extruded to formsamples in which the nano-fillers were aligned. Samples were fabricated by compression moldingwhere the nano-fillers were randomly oriented. The thermal properties were evaluated by DSC andTGA, and the mechanical properties of the aligned samples were determined by tensile testing. Thedegree of dispersion and alignment of the nanoparticles were investigated with high-resolutionscanning electron microscopy. The thermal conductivity was measured in two directions using theNanoflash technique
