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 ...

Polymers are composed of very large molecules formed by a combination of different monomers (smaller and simpler molecules), which can be natural or synthetic. Polymers are the basis of many ...

University of Houston researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in thermal conductivity, overturning an existing theory that boron arsenide (BAs) couldn’t compete with the heat conduction of a ...

Thermally conductive polymer composites consist of fillers oriented in certain directions that form pathways for heat flow. However, conventional methods to control the orientation of these fillers ...

In a study published in the Journal of Advanced Ceramics, a team led by Ji-Lin Wang from Guilin University of Technology in Guilin investigated the impact of differing the amount of toughened phase ...

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 ...
