A common method to enhance a polymer’s thermal conductivity (κ) is to blend it with high-κ fillers such as metal 2 or ceramic 3 particles, yielding reported values of κ that range from 1 to 10 W m −1 ...
Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and ...
New technology from University of Houston researchers could improve the way devices manage heat, thanks to a technique that allows heat to flow in only one direction. The innovation is known as ...
When electrons flow through a resistive material, heat is generated. It’s not uncommon for high-power IC chips to dissipate greater than 50 to 100 W. A few years back, projections showed that chips ...
University of Houston researchers have developed a new way to make heat flow in ...
Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...
