Analysis on Thermal Properties of Polyethylene–Vinyl Acetate (PEVA) Matrix with Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) Particle-Reinforced Composites

To improve the thermal properties of polyethylene–vinyl acetate matrix, polytetrafluroethylene particles were introduced into the matrix. By hosting small amount of PTFE particles into the matrix, thermal properties had improved particularly with 20% PTFE. It was evident that thermal conductivity of the composite increased with the addition of fillers. The melt mixing in an injection molding process was used for mixing the copolymer and filler that ensured proper blending. Lee’s disk apparatus was utilized to resolve the thermal conductivity of the composites. Count of 20% by weight composition of PTFE particle with PEVA increased the thermal conductivity of the samples to anticipated range.
