Study on Thermal Conductivity of Metal/Polymer Composites Based on Software ANSYS

Heat conductive materials, which widely used in the field like electronic information, electrical engineering and aerospace, are required high thermal conductivity, excellent electrical insulation, corrosive resistance, chemical stability and so on. In this paper, metal/unsaturated polyester (UP) composite is prepared to use as heat conductive material. Capacity of composite thermal transmission is analyzed by software ANSYS and experiment. The results show that the capacity of composite thermal transmission increases with increasing metal wire diameter and metal thermal conductivity. Average error between simulation and experimental data is 6.08%.
