The majority of work done on VGCF reinforced composites has been carbon/carbon (CC) composites [20-26], These composites were made by densifying VGCF preforms using chemical vapor infiltration techniques and/or pitch infiltration techniques. Preforms were typically prepared using furfuryl alcohol as the binder. Composites thus made have either uni-directional (ID) fiber reinforcement or two-directional, orthogonal (0/90) fiber reinforcement (2D). Composite specimens were heated at a temperature near 3000 °C before characterization. Effects of fiber volume fraction, composite density, and densification method on composite thermal conductivity were addressed. The results of these investigations are summarized below. 

There are a lot of correlations, proposed in the literature, allowing one to calculate the composition thermal conductivity coefficient A,(thermoplastic polymer compositions containing four types of fiUer. The volume concentration varied within the interval of 0.1 to 0.4 volume shares of the filler, the value of ratio varied from 3 through to 354. Resulting from the comparison of the results of calculations by different equations with experimental data, it was found that the following expression is the best possible [72] ... 

Various high conductivity materials have been alloyed with metal hydrides to form enhanced heat transport composite materials. Eaton et al. [31] experimented with various alloyed metal additives including copper, aluminum, lead, and lead-tin. The samples were alloyed at elevated temperature (200-600 °C) and cycled. In many samples, cycling resulted in the separation and fracture of the alloy and thus a reduction in composite thermal conductivity. Sintered aluminum structures of 20% solid fraction have been integrated with LaNis hydride materials with success, resulting in effective thermal conductivities of 10-33 W/mK [32-34]. Temperatures required for this process and added mass and volume may exclude application to some complex hydrides. 

Samples measuring 50 x 6 x 3 mm were thermally shocked by quenching from 1000 or 1200°C into room temperature water. Flexural strengths measured before and after thermal shock are shown in Table III. The relatively low composite thermal conductivity (Table I) does not adversely affect thermal shock behavior. Repeated thermal shocks from 1000°C to room temperature water for five cycles results in only a modest decrease (15%) in room temperature strength.

Laser-flash method. Forhighthermal-conductivity adhesives, such as the silver-glass compositions whose thermal conductivities are greater than 20 W/m K, the indirect laser-flash method is used. Unlike the steady-state methods, the flash method does not measure thermal conductivity directly, but measures thermal diffusivity, from which thermal conductivity is calculated as follows ...
