The thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of sisal-reinforced polyethylene (SRP), glass-reinforced polyethylene (GRP) and sisal/glass hybrid fibre-reinforced polyethylene (GSRP) has been evaluated at cryogenic to high temperature (120-350 K). It has been observed that the variation of thermal conductivity with temperature is almost the same for LDPE and SRP containing perpendicularly oriented sisal fibres. The difference between the values of thermal conductivity shown by LDPE and GRP is greater than that of SRP and LDPE. The enhanced thermal conductivity of glass fibre is due to the presence of Fe2+ ions in the glass fibres. The linear variation in thermal conductivity with fibre loading is explained with the help of a model suggested by Agari. The difference between the thermal conductivity properties in directions parallel and perpendicular to the applied Aux is a maximum for SRP owing to the anisotropic nature of sisal fibre. The difference is marginal for GRP on account of its isotropic nature. The position of GSRP is found to be intermediate. It can been observed that the variation of thermal diffusivity with temperature is just opposite to that of thermal conductivity. This may be due to a reduction in the mean free path of phonons. An empirical equation is derived to explain the variation in thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity with temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
