Electrocaloric Effect May Yield More Effective Cooling Systems
British scientists are hoping to replace chemicals used in modern cooling systems with more environmentally-friendly materials that change temperature with the application of electricity. Known as the electrocaloric effect, previous research from 2006 has shown that the phenomenon can be used in cooling applications. According to researchers at the National Physical … [Read more...]
Boron Nitride Filler for Thermally Conductive Dielectric Plastic Compounds
Saint-Gobain Ceramic Materials has released its new CarboTherm boron nitride thermal management fillers for use in thermally conductive, dielectric plastic compounds. The new boron nitride fillers will be on display December 10-11 at the Compounding World Forum 2013 in Philadelphia, Penn., USA. “Boron nitride, unlike other ceramics, is soft and non-abrading, enabling longer … [Read more...]
Flexible Thermal Absorbing Films Boost Heat Dissipation in Small Electronics
Manufacturing company Henkel has released Loctite TAF, a new thermal absorbing film designed to address the heat management challenges associated with small but high-functioning handheld electronic devices. “Managing the intense heat generated by today’s handheld products is one of the biggest challenges facing device designers today,” Jonathan Rowntree, vice president of … [Read more...]
