Thermal Conductivity of Filled Plastics
Compared to other solid materials, metals are widely known for their superior heat transfer capabilities. However, these capabilities come at the cost of weight, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch and freedom of design due to manufacturing constraints. Hence, the desire for thermally-conductive plastics. On the other side of the spectrum, we would like to have … [Read more...]
