Bayer Material Science has announced Makrolon® polycarbonate as the latest addition to its family of heat-resistant plastics designed specifically for LED heat sink applications. Compared with aluminum, this grade of Makrolon polycarbonate conduct similar thermal performance while helping to reduce costs and enhance design freedom. Moreover, this material can help save costs … [Read more...]
Thermal Interface Material Suits Component-Heavy Circuit Boards
Fujipoly has released SARCON SPG-30A, a thermal interface material ideal for circuit boards with a large surface area, numerous components and delicate solder points. Featuring high viscosity and ultra-low compression force, the form-in-place silicone compound completely fills all spaces, gaps and protrusions when compressed by a heat sink or spreader. Once applied, SARCON … [Read more...]
Controlling Thermal Conductivity to Improve Energy Storage
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have experimentally shown for the first time that the thermal conductivity of lithium cobalt oxide (LixCoO2), a material used in the cathodes of lithium-ion batteries, can be reversibly electrochemically modulated over a significant range. Many technologies require control over the flow of heat through materials in … [Read more...]
