Sentences with phrase «high thermal conductivity»

«It has high electrical resistance so that things don't short out when it's used as a circuitry substrate, and it has extraordinarily high thermal conductivity, much better than silver or gold,» says Ferren.

Artificial diamonds can be grown on various surfaces to increase the hardness and reduce the wear of tools, or to take advantage of diamond's high thermal conductivity as a heat sink for electronics.

«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.

Copper has the highest thermal conductivity.

«By tuning its thermal conductivity, the material can efficiently and automatically dissipate heat in the hot summer because it will have high thermal conductivity, but prevent heat loss in the cold winter because of its low thermal conductivity at lower temperatures.»

Using first - principles calculations to account for such behavior with resonant bonding, Lee was able to demonstrate that this effect could explain known discrepancies between similar materials that of low and high thermal conductivity.

«The great properties of nanodiamond — lubricity, high thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity and stability, among others — are quite impressive,» said Taha - Tijerina.

They are characterized by a high thermal conductivity and mechanical robustness with a low pressure loss during alternating operation modes.

It is not only diamond's hardness that has made it the material of choice for so many technological applications such as cutting, abrading and polishing: its high thermal conductivity at room temperature also dissipates heat from the working surfaces.

Diamond has a track record of extremes, including ultrahardness, higher thermal conductivity than any other solid material and transparency to ultraviolet light.
