Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Avinash Nayal"
- Avinash Nayal's research primarily focuses on the thermal conductivity of various composite materials, particularly emphasizing the role of graphene and other nanofillers in enhancing thermal transport properties in polymers and two-dimensional materials.
- His findings reveal that four-phonon scattering processes significantly influence thermal conductivity, leading to substantial differences in predicted values compared to models that only consider three-phonon scattering, particularly for materials like graphene.
- Nayal's studies also demonstrate that the choice of solvent during the fabrication of graphene-based composites can result in marked improvements in thermal conductivity; for instance, using dimethylformamide (DMF) resulted in a 44% enhancement in thermal performance compared to acetone due to better dispersion of nanoparticles.
