EFFECTIVE PROPERTIES SUCH AS PERMITTIVITY, THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY, AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF INTERPENETRATING BIPHASIC COMPOSITES

摘要

The effectizx properties such as permittivity, thermal conductivity, and electric conductivity of the interpenetrating biphasic composites with a network structure as reinforcement phase are studied by employing the finite element method. The dependence of the effective properties of the interpenetrating composites on the properties of the matrix, the network reinforcement phase, and the volume fraction of the network phase were developed by fitting the numerical results, which could be used to predict the effective properties of such materials. The simulation results have been compared with previously published experimental observations, and an excellent agreement has been found.
