Graphene-functionalized wood fiber composite for heat dissipating cases in personal electronics

Research Project, 2023 – 2024

Purpose and goal
This project aimed to develop a cost- and energy-efficient process to functionalize wood fiber with monolayer graphene in the liquid phase to create a new thermal filler with improved thermal conductivity.

Results and expected effects
The project resulted in a successful graphene coating on wood fiber and facilitates an efficient composite production process. The graphene adding functions to the wood fiber fillers improved the thermal conductivity of the wood fiber, reducing the airborne graphene during composite production.

Layout and implementation
Projects were completed according to schedule and delivered results as planned. Project partners have cooperated well and have formulated a good work flow for continued cooperation.
