Abstract: The paper deals with investigation of the heat transfer process in nanocomposites prepared from carbon nanofiller and polymer matrix. If subjected to shear forces, the latter presents the ability to organize after a specific concentration in organic solvent. The morphology of the used polymer is examined by atomic force microscopy, while that of the nanocomposite is analyzed by optical microscopy. The thermal conduction of the matrix is theoretically determined form its structural features, whereas heat transfer of the samples is assessed from different mathematical models
