Reconstruction and modeling of 3D percolation networks of carbon fillers in a polymer matrix

In the present work, we illustrate a methodology for the reconstruction and modeling of three-dimensional micro-structures of highly anisotropic composite materials. Specifically, we focus on disk-shaped nano-fillers dispersed in a polymer matrix and detailed numerical investigations, based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), are carried out on the global thermal conductivity.
