This invention discloses a rapid prediction method for the
thermal conductivity of phenolic resin based on scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) images. This invention requires only conventional SEM images, extracts structural parameters such as
porosity, equivalent particle
diameter, and bond ratio through automated
image processing, and then inputs these structural parameters into a pre-trained
machine learning
surrogate model to achieve rapid prediction of the material's
thermal conductivity. Compared with existing methods that require multi-scale 3D reconstruction and direct numerical solutions, this invention significantly reduces the requirements for sample size and characterization equipment, simplifies the modeling process, and achieves high computational efficiency. Furthermore, because the prediction model fully incorporates the influence of nanoscale pores and particle structure on
thermal conductivity during the
training phase, this invention can quickly provide the effective thermal
conductivity of resin-based composite materials while maintaining high accuracy, providing an efficient and reliable means of evaluating thermal
conductivity performance for material formulation design and
process optimization.
