THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF POLYPROPYLENE REINFORCED ALUMINA PARTICLES

Effect of addition alumina particles on thermal conducting of polypropylene was investigated in this study. 0.1 micron Alumina particles were added to polypropylene with (1, 2, 3) wt.% Fourier equation was used to calculate the changing in thermal conductivity coefficient (k) for polypropylene. The results that have been obtained from the thermal conductivity test that the thermal conductivity of polypropylene increased when adding alumina and conductivity increases with increasing proportion of alumina added.
