Abstract

The finite element software FLUENT was used to analysis the influence of the thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix, calculation area of nanopaper and different heating power on the thermal property of the polymer composites reinforced by pulse bending nanopaper. The typical temperature of composites reinforced by pulse bending nanopaper during the heating process under different thermal coffecient has been analyzed. The research shows that as the thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix increases, the maximum and average temperature of nanocomposites decrease, while the minimum temperature increases. With the increase of thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix, the temperature difference between the maximum and minimum temperature of the polymer matrix composite with a pulse bending nanopaper is significantly reduced in the process of reaching steady state.
