Thermally shocked graphene oxide-containing biocomposite for thermal management applications

In this communication, we present a new approach to simultaneously improve the thermal conductivity and ductility of a biobased polylactide blend composite by localizing thermally shocked graphene oxide particles in a dispersed poly(ϵ-caprolactone) phase. The preliminary results presented in this work will pave the way for the development of high performance environmentally benign composite materials for thermal management applications.
