Abstract: The paper aims to evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposites based on polymer matrix containing various amounts of graphene. The characteristics of the considered polymer are determined using the connectivity indices formalism, while those corresponding to the nanocomposites are evaluated using several mathematical models. The variation of the thermophysical properties with the volume fraction of the nanofiller is discussed in agreement in the pursued applications as heat dissipation layers in electronic devices

Keywords: thermal conductivity, mechanical properties,nanocomposites.
