But the insulator-turned-conductor could only dissipate heat in one direction, along the length of each polymer chain. Heat couldn’t travel between polymer chains, due to weak Van der Waals ...

Insulators made into conductors: Polymers coaxed to line up, transformed into materials that could dissipate heat Date: March 9, 2010 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Most ...

Now a team of engineers at MIT has developed a polymer thermal conductor — a plastic material that, however counterintuitively, works as a heat conductor, dissipating heat rather than insulating ...

Ren, Zheng Li, and his team at UB, now report a new strategy to achieve high thermal conductive electric insulator polyethylene with high dielectric constant and strength. In this work, published in ...

In addition to these insulator elements, the CICA also features the high-voltage (HV) end metallic connection node, conductor fitting components, tower side connection hardware, and electric field ...

ePTFE insulator tape, on the other hand, has a tightly controlled thickness, density, and dielectric constant. Wrapping individual conductors in ePTFE can cut interference, noise, cross-talk, and ...

Preformed Line Products offers a complete line of 15, 25 and 35kV polymer pin type insulators for C, F and J-Neck tie top and vise top insulators for all conductor applications. The company will also ...

Several groups have engineered polymer conductors in recent years, including Chen's group, which in 2010 invented a method to create "ultradrawn nanofibers" from a standard sample of polyethylene.
