THERMAL, ELECTRO AND ELASTO-MECHANICAL PROPERIES OF PARTICULATE COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Štefan Barta - Jozef Bielek - Peter Dieška

   The paper provides an overview of the results obtained during the realisation of the research project entitled: "Thermophysical, electrical and optical properties of disordered materials''. The experimental results of measurements of mechanical (elastic shear modulus), thermophysical (thermal conductivity), electrical (electrical conductivity) properties and flammability of some chosen particulate composite materials are interpreted on the basis of the theory of effective parameters. The relations for effective parameters derived in the framework of the average field approximation are tested on the basis of experiments.

Keywords: disordered materials, elastic shear modulus, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity
