Effective medium theory (EMT) is commonly used to describe the microstructure-property relationships in heterogeneous materials and predict the effective physical properties. It has recently been revised to predict the thermal conduction of nanocomposites. For nanocomposites with nanopartides on the order of or smaller than the phonon mean free path, the interface density of nanopartides is a primary factor in determining the thermal conductivity. In graphite nanosheet polymer composites, the interfacial thermal resistance still plays a role in the overall thermal transport. However, the thermal conductivity depends strongly on the aspect ratio and on the orientation of graphite nanosheets.

In this method, a solvent is chosen as a reaction medium in which the polymer (or pre-polymer) is soluble and the nanofillers are also well dispersed. Such polymer/prepolymer and dispersed filler are vigorously intermixed by mechanical stirring/ultrasonic vibration at a desired temperature followed by the evaporation of the solvent. A large number of silicone rubber nanocomposites have been prepared by this method, i.e., silicone foams filled with carbon nanotubes [123-127], graphite nanosheets/sfiicone rubber [128-130], graphene sheets/SR [131], MMT/SR [132], POSS/PDMS nanocomposite [133], LDH/SR [134,135].
