Thermal Properties of Refractory SWCNT-Based Nanocomposites Investigated by Automated Approach

Abstract

Thermal properties of refractory nanocomposites with embedded single-walled carbon nanotubes were investigated using proposed automated approach. In this approach, differences in nanocomposites with varying parameters, observed under temperature differentials and thermal loads, are highlighted. These findings are crucial for their integration into sensor systems and for applications requiring enhanced fire resistance. The results indicate that nanocomposites with a nanotube dispersion time of 2 hours exhibit a peak temperature difference of 55 “C, while those with a 1-hour dispersion time show a maximum difference of 50 °C. A comparative analysis of heat transfer dynamics suggests that extending the dispersion time by 1 hour increases fire resistance by 15%.
