- Graphene-based thermally conductive polymer composites are of great importance for the removal of the excess heat generated by electronic devices. However, due to the orientation of graphene sheets in the polymer matrix, the through-plane thermal conductivity of polymer/graphene composites remains far from satisfactory. We here demonstrate a confined liquid-phase expansion strategy to fabricate highly oriented confined expanded graphite (CEG) aerogels. After being incorporated into epoxy resin (EP), the resulting EP/CEG composites exhibit a high through-plane thermal conductivity (4.14 ± 0.21 W m-1 K-1) at a quite low filler loading of 1.75 wt % (0.91 vol %), nearly 10 times higher than that of neat EP resin and 7.5 times higher than the in-plane thermal conductivity of the composite, indicating that the CEG aerogel has a high through-plane thermal conductivity enhancement efficiency that outperforms those of many graphite/graphene-based fillers. The facile preparation method holds great industrial application potential in fabricating anisotropic thermally conductive polymer composites.

- Almost 15 years have gone ever since the discovery of graphene as a single atom layer. Numerous papers have been published to demonstrate its high electron mobility, excellent thermal and mechanical as well as optical properties. We have recently seen more and more applications towards using graphene in commercial products. This paper is an attempt to review and summarize the current status of the research of the thermal properties of graphene and other 2D based materials including the manufacturing and characterization techniques and their applications, especially in electronics and power modules. It is obvious from the review that graphene has penetrated the market and gets more and more applications in commercial electronics thermal management context. In the paper, we also made a critical analysis of how mature the manufacturing processes are; what are the accuracies and challenges with the various characterization techniques and what are the remaining questions and issues left before we see further more applications in this exciting and fascinating field.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The experimental work presented here, for the first time using electrophoretic technique to fabricate graphene oxide (GO)-based resistive random access memory (RRAM). By using electrophoretic technique, nonvolatile RRAM devices with Aluminum (Al)/GO/Indium tin oxide (ITO) cross-bar sandwich-like structure were fabricated. The fabricated devices show typical bipolar resistant switching behavior with ON/OFF ratio more than 10, retention time more than 102 s, and transition voltage less than 1.7 V. The switching mechanism for the devices is ascribed to the formation and rupture of the conducting filament induced by the diffusion of oxygen ions. The results show that the electrophoretic technique holds great potential for film manufacturing for RRAM.

- In order to meet the ever more demanding requirements of modern thermal management with the increasing high power density, an easy-fabricated laminated graphene film/indium/aluminum (GF/In/Al) composite was developed. The GF was fabricated through assemble graphene oxide (GO) sheets in a layer-by-layer structure and then subjected to graphitization process at high temperature as well as press forming process. The fabricated GF exhibits ultrahigh in-plane thermal conductivity together with good tensile strength. The GF/In/Al laminated composite was fabricated by hot-pressing indium coated GF and Al layers in vacuum environment. The indium layer was easily coated onto the GF due to its low melting point along with good flowing property. The thermal resistance measurements show that the indium bonding possess greater preponderance of reducing contact resistance than without bonding material and thermal conductive adhesive (TCA) bonding, because indium layer could fill the gap between GF and Al layers, and provide more stable connection. The results show that the obtained laminated composite could be potentially used in the thermal management of high power systems.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this work, a graphene assembled film integrated heat sink and water cooling technology was used to build an experimental set-up of a thermal management system to demonstrate the possibility to achieve efficient cooling of the propulsion battery in electric vehicles. The experimental results showed that the temperature decrease of a Li-ion battery module can reach 11°C and 9 °C under discharge rates as of 2C and 1C, respectively. The calculated thermal resistance of the graphene based cooling system is about 76% of a similar copper based cooling system. Surface modification was carried out on the graphene sheet to achieve a reliable bonding between the graphene sheet and the battery cell surface. This work provides a proof of concept of a new highly efficient approach for electric vehicle battery thermal management using the light-weight material graphene.

- A promising method of improving the densification of powder metallurgical steel components is to blend nanopowder with the otherwise typically used micrometre-sized powder. The higher surface-to-volume ratio of nanopowder is hypothesized to accelerate the sintering process and increase the inter-particle contact area between the powder particles. This is supposed to enhance the material transport and improve the densification. In the present investigation, water-atomized iron powder (− 45 μm) was mixed separately with pure iron and low-carbon steel nanopowder, each at a ratio of 95 to 5 pct. These powder mixes were compacted at different pressures (400, 600 and 800 MPa) and then sintered at 1350 °C in a pure hydrogen atmosphere. The sintering behavior of the powder blend compacts was compared to that of the compact with micrometre-sized powder only. Densification commenced at much lower temperatures in the presence of nanopowder. To understand this, sintering at intermittent temperatures such as 500 °C and 700 °C was conducted. The fracture surface revealed that the nanopowder was sintered at between 500 °C and 700 °C, which in turn contributed to the densification of the powder mix at the lower temperature range. Based on the sintering experiments, an attempt was made to calculate the activation energy and identify the associated sinter mechanism using two different approaches. It was shown that the first approach yielded values in agreement with the grain-boundary diffusion mechanism. As the nanopowder content increased, there was an increase in linear shrinkage during sintering.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In many applications like sensors, displays, and defoggers, there is a need for transparent and efficient heater elements produced at low cost. For this reason, we evaluated the performance of graphene-based heaters with from one to five layers of graphene on flexible and transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates in terms of their electrothermal properties like heating/cooling rates and steady-state temperatures as a function of the input power density. We found that the heating/cooling rates followed an exponential time dependence with a time constant of just below 6 s for monolayer heaters. From the relationship between the steady-state temperatures and the input power density, a convective heat-transfer coefficient of 60 W·m−2·°C−1 was found, indicating a performance much better than that of many other types of heaters like metal thin-film-based heaters and carbon nanotube-based heaters.

- With the increasing demand on integration and better performance of portable electronics devices, the system operation temperatures are expected to continue to increase, leading eventually to degeneration in functional performance and reliability. Therefore, demand for thermal management materials that effectively spread heat and reduce heat density is urgent. The existing solution of pyrolytic graphite film (PGF) is unsatisfactory due to their low heat flux carrying capacity or low thermal conductivity, as well as poor mechanical performance. This work solves the problem by substituting ultra-thick (>75 mm) graphene film (GF) for PGF, offering more than three times higher heat flux carrying capacity. The conjugation of large crystallinity and firm structures endows GFs with excellent thermal conductive performance (up to 1204 +/- 35 W m(-1) K-1), great heat flux carrying capacity, and good foldability (5000 cycles folding). In addition to this, such a GF is produced based on an economically efficient and quasi industrial method incorporating continuous high-pressure homogenization processing (HPH), indicating an enormous potential as a new pathway to thermal management applications.

Low Cycle Fatigue Behavior and Microstructural Evolution of Nickel-based Superalloy M951G at Elevated Temperatures
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Materials Characterization. - : Elsevier. - 1044-5803 .- 1873-4189. ; 163

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests of the newly developed nickel-based superalloy M951G have been conducted at 900 and 1000 °C under different total strain amplitudes. Results show that the fatigue properties, fracture mechanisms as well as coarsening of γ′ precipitates are dependent on testing temperatures and strain amplitudes. Fatigue life and cyclic stress response under the same total strain amplitude at 1000 °C are lower than that at 900 °C, which is due to the degradation of microstructures, shearing of γ′ precipitates by dislocations and serious oxidation. Fracture modes change from intergranular cracking to the mixed mode cracking as the strain amplitude increases. At low strain amplitudes, M951G alloy fails in the form of intergranular cracking owing to the oxidation of surface carbides and the relatively low deformation rate. At higher strain amplitudes, the strain localization in grain interior, the distribution of broken carbides and eutectics as well as the relatively higher strain rate are the main reasons for the formation of transgranular microcracks. Ultimately, the effects of fatigue conditions on coarsening of cubic γ′ precipitates are also analyzed from the aspect of γ′ volume fraction, fatigue life and flow stress difference between the γ/γ′ interfaces.
