摘要： The incorporation of graphene fillers into polymer matrices has been recognized for its potential to enhance thermal conductivity, which is particularly beneficial for applications in thermal management. The uniformity of graphene dispersion is pivotal to achieving optimal thermal conductivity, thereby directly influencing the effectiveness of thermal management, including the mitigation of local hot-spot temperatures. This research employs a quantitative approach to assess the distribution of graphene fillers within a PBX (plastic-bonded explosive) matrix, focusing specifically on the thermal management of hot spots. Through finite element method (FEM) simulations, we have explored the impact of graphene filler orientation, proximity to the central heat source, and spatial clustering on heat transfer. Our findings indicate that the strategic distribution of graphene fillers can create efficient thermal conduction channels, which significantly reduce the temperatures at local hot spots. In a model containing 0.336% graphene by volume, the central hot-spot temperature was reduced by approximately 60 K compared to a pure PBX material, under a heat flux of 600 W/m$^2$. This study offers valuable insights into the optimization of the spatial arrangement of low-concentration graphene fillers, aiming to improve the thermal management capabilities of HMX-based PBX explosives.
