Abstract :
[en] The effective thermal conductivity of nanocomposites constituted by nanoparticles and homogeneous host media is discussed from the point of view of extended irreversible thermodynamics. This formalism is particularly well adapted to the description of small length scales. As illustrations, dispersion of Si nanoparticles in Ge (respectively, SiO2 in epoxy resin) homogeneous matrices is investigated, the nanoparticles are assumed to be spherical with a wide dispersion. Four specific problems are studied: the dependence of the effective thermal conductivity on the volume fraction of particles, the type of phonon scattering at the interface particle-matrix, the radius of the nanoparticles and the temperature. © 2015 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society.
