The effective thermal and electrical conductivity enhancements of GNP-oil nanofluids and GNP-polyimide composites are measured. By taking into account the particle shape, the volume fraction, the thermal conductivity of filling particles and the base fluids, the thermal and electrical conductivity enhancements of GNP nanofluids are theoretically predicted by the generalized effective medium theory. Both the nonlinear dependence of effective thermal conductivity on the GNP volume fraction in nanofhiids and the very low percolation threshold for GNP-polyimide composites are well predicted. The theoretical predications are found to be in reasonably good agreement with the experimental data. The generalized effective medium theory can be used for predicting the thermal and electrical properties of GNP composites and it is still available for most of the thermal/electrical modifications in two-phase composites.展开更多

The results show that the as-prepared GO had good dispersion and compatibility in PI matrix due to the introduction of abundant oxygen-containing functional groups during the oxidation. The residual graphitic domains and the thermal treatment induced reduction of GO further enhanced the dielectric permittivity of the resulting GO–PI composites. The dielectric permittivity of the GO–PI composites exhibited a typical percolation behavior with a percolation threshold of 0.0347 of volume ratio and a critical exponent of 0.837. Near the percolation threshold, the dielectric permittivity of the GO–PI composite increased to 108 at 10~2 Hz and was 26 times that of the pure PI.展开更多

A Monte Carlo (MC) method was employed in the simulations. The percolation threshold was found to rise with the compression strain, which captures the basic trend in compression-induced conductivity variation from the experiments. Both fiber bending and texture formation contribute to the percolation threshold. The results suggest that fillers with a high aspect ratio are more desirable for sensor and electrical switch applications.展开更多

Epidemics on small worlds of tree-based networks are studied, and the epidemic threshold at which the outbreak of the epideIrlic occurs is calculated. Epidemiological processes are analyzed when the infection probability is larger than the percolation threshold. Although different epidemiological processes occur on the underlying tree topology, the number of infected nodes increases exponentially as the infection spreads. The uniform immunization procedure is conducted in the homogeneous small-world network. The infection still extends exponentially Mthough the immunization effectively reduces the prevalence speed.展开更多
