A methodology is introduced for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of arbitrary
particulate composites with interfacial thermal resistance in terms of an effective medium …

As electronic devices continue to evolve toward miniaturization and integration, traditional
thermal interface materials (TIMs) are no longer able to meet the ever-tougher thermal …

In many physical problems several scales present either in space or in time, caused by
either inhomogeneity of the medium or complexity of the mechanical process. A fundamental …

New variational principles and bounds are introduced, describing the effective conductivity
tensor for anisotropic two-phase heat conducting composites with interfacial surface …

We present numerical calculations of the effective thermal conductivity of unidirectional
fibrous composite materials with an interfacial thermal resistance between the continuous …

An analytical model is developed to predict the effective thermal conductivity of multiphase
composites reinforced with coated fillers. The coated fillers are modeled as confocal …

Recent efforts on the development of nanostructured thermoelectric materials from
nanowires (Boukai, AI; et al. Nature 2008, 451,(7175), 168–171; Hochbaum, AI; et al. Nature …

The theories of Hasselman et al. and Benveniste et al. were extended to derive expressions
for the longitudinal and transverse effective thermal conductivity of an isotropic matrix …

The thermal conductivities/diffusivities of YSZ/Al2O3 composites have been investigated by
a laser flash technique. The thermal conductivity of the composite increases with an …

A review of experimental results and theoretical models for thermal conductivities of ceramic
materials with porosity less than 30% is given. It is shown that the abnormal non‐monotonic …
