▎ 摘  要

This paper investigates the effect of interfacial thermal characteristics and nonlocal effects on the overall effective thermal property of graphene nanoribbons embedded in low-density polyethylene matrix. It is widely known that apart from the thermal conductivity, the effect of interfacial thermal resistance is the most important factor that determines the thermal efficiency of nanostructures. In this work, we develop nonlocal thermo-elastic properties coupled with a multiscale strategy by means of properties derived from atomistic simulations. Atomistic based thermal properties of graphene nanoribbons are estimated from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and the effect of inter-tubular spacing on the interfacial thermal characteristics are also studied. The paper also discusses the effect of the nonlocal parameter on the thermal conduction of the composite system using the developed nonlocal thermo-elastic model.
