Abstract: | In this study, a new model to predict the thermal conductivity of composites with spherical fillers is proposed. The original
Eshelby model is extended to a finite filler volume fraction by successively embedding small filler volume fraction. The predicted
results by the present model are compared with bounds such as parallel, series, and Hashin–Shtrikman models, results by modified
Eshelby model, generalized self-consistent model, and effective medium theory, and the experimental results from the literature.
It is found that the present model always lies between the bounds and shows better agreement with the experimental results
than the other models for various filler volume fractions and thermal conductivity ratios. |
