Heat-conducting polymer cools hot electronic devices at 200 degrees C
Atlanta GA (SPX) Apr 01, 2014 - Polymer materials are usually thermal insulators. But by harnessing an electropolymerization process to produce aligned arrays of polymer nanofibers, researchers have developed a thermal interface material able to conduct heat 20 times better than the original polymer. The modified material can reliably operate at temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius. The new thermal interface materia ... more
