Transverse Uniaxial Composite Thermal Properties Data Base of Thermally Conductive Graphite Fibers with and without Contiguous Grown Graphite Fins.

摘要

Using the format of Mil Handbook 17, a complete data base of the results of in house experimental efforts to determine if the growth of graphite fins from thermally conductive, highly graphitic fibers could enhance the transverse thermal conductivity of uniaxial tow bundle laid up composites. These results designated as With Fins (WF) are tabulated alongside additional tables of the transverse thermal conductivity of uniaxial tow bundle laid up composites made from the same fibers without graphite fins grown from their surface. They represent baseline comparisons and are designated as With Out graphite Fins (WOF). Appendixes detailing the specific fabrication of the, unique to this effort, experimental graphite fibers with fins grown contiguously from their surfaces and the, also unique to this effort, fabrication of uniaxial composites from those fibers are appended to illustrate the unique techniques used to fabricate the finned graphite fibers and Uniaxial composites. Additional appendixes depicting the data incorporated into the tables in graphical form are also included.
