Product 6 years, 4 months agoScientists Have Innovated A Very Thin And Transparent Material, Of Alternating Layers Of Wafer-thin Glass Plates Sandwiching Polymer Chains, Which’s Capable Of Being, At The Same Time, A Thermal Conductor (Within The Layers) And An Insulator (Perpendicular To The Layers). Thermal Conduction Is Important In, E.G., Computers And Homes.
Material developed which is heat-insulating and heat-conducting at the same timeStyrofoam or copper—both materials have very different properties with regard to their ability to conduct heat. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P) in Mainz and the University of Bayreuth have now jointly developed and characterized a novel, extremely thin and transparent material that has different thermal conduction properties depending on the direction. While it can conduct heat extremely well in one direction, it shows good thermal insulation in the other direction.
