Abstract:
A method for testing thermal interface materials (TIMs) that comprise stacks of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays, wherein the thermal interface material is provided as an adhesive foil substrate and is compressed between a heat-generating electronic device and a heat sink and exposed to at least 1500 thermal cycles.
Abstract:
A transparent conductive film (10) that has a substrate (14) having a surface (14a, 14b), a nanowire layer (12, 12a) over one or more portions of the surface (14a, 14b) of the substrate (14), and a conductive layer (16, 16a) on the portions comprising the nanowire layer (12, 12a), the conductive layer (16, 16a) comprising carbon nanotubes (CNT) and a binder.
Abstract:
A composite material for the realization of a component or a structural part, in particular for installation on-board a vehicle, adapted to integrate electrical devices and connections, comprises a non-conductive polymeric matrix; a dispersed phase comprising at least one promoter of carbonization adapted to form carbonaceous conductive structures; and a reinforcing-fibre filler adapted to direct the distribution and orientation of the dispersed phase in the polymeric matrix.
Abstract:
A conductive film may be provided that includes a base member, a first hard coating layer formed on a surface of the base member, and a conductive layer formed on the first hard coating layer. The conductive layer may include conductors composed of a nano-material forming a network structure.
Abstract:
Reduction/oxidation reagents have been found to be effective to chemically cure a sparse metal nanowire film into a fused metal nanostructured network through evidently a ripening type process. The resulting fused network can provide desirable low sheet resistances while maintaining good optical transparency. The transparent conductive films can be effectively applied as a single conductive ink or through sequential forming of a metal nanowire film with the subsequent addition of a fusing agent. The fused metal nanowire films can be effectively patterned, and the patterned films can be useful in devices, such as touch sensors.
