The researchers also were pleased to see that adding sodium did not affect the already very low thermal conductivity of the material. (sciencedaily.com)
«Our combination of high thermal conductivity and elasticity is especially critical for rapid heat dissipation in applications such as wearable computing and soft robotics, which require mechanical compliance and stretchable functionality,» said Majidi, an associate professor of mechanical engineering.
