Since graphene was experimentally discovered in 2004, it has been the focus of vigorous applied research due to its outstanding properties such
as high specific surface area, good
thermal and electrical
conductivities, and many more properties.
«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.
These hybrids have advantageous combination of properties, such
as biocompatibility,
high tensile strength and
thermal conductivity as well
as superb chemical stability and electrical insulation.
Thus in sandy soils for example (compare dry and saturated
thermal conductivities of Figure 5 with tabulated values in Figure 6), the required length of the ground loop could be
as low
as 200 feet per system ton if the soil is saturated with water, or
as high as 300 feet per ton if the soil is dry.
