Abstract:
In one embodiment the present invention improves the heat flow from an electrically insulated object 13 by providing an enhanced conduit at the interface between the layers of insulating tape 16. The tape 16 has been surface coated with a high thermal conductivity (HTC) material, so that the interface between the layers of tape 23 provides a pathway for the heat to reach the environment 24. The radiation of heat through the tape layers is also increased by the surface coatings
Abstract:
A high thermal conductivity resin that is made up of a host resin matrix (42) and high thermal conductivity fillers (30) that are mixed within the host resin to form a resin mixture. The fillers comprise at least 3-5% by weight of the resin mixture, and the fillers are from an average of 1 -100 nm in at least one dimension, and where the particles are smaller than an average of 1000 nm in the particles' longest dimension. The host resin matrix forms an ordered resin shell (40) around the high thermal conductivity fillers (30), whereby resin molecules are aligned perpendicular to the surface of the high thermal conductivity fillers. An overlap of the ordered resin shells (44) is formed between the high thermal conductivity fillers such that continuous pathways for ordered resin shells are created through the resin mixture.
Abstract:
A high thermal conductivity resin that has a host resin matrix, and a high thermal conductivity filler. The high thermal conductivity filler (30) forms a continuous organic-inorganic composite with the host resin matrix. The fillers are from 1-1000 nm in length, and have average aspect ratios of between 3-100. At least a portion of the high thermal conductivity fillers comprise morphologies (31) chosen from one or more of hexagonal, cubic, orthorhombic, rhombohedral, tetragonal, whiskers and tubes. In particular, some of the fillers will aggregate into secondary structures.

The present invention provides for high thermal conductivity paper that comprises a host matrix (10), and high thermal conductivity materials (12) added to a surface of the host matrix in a specific pattern (12). The high thermal conductivity materials are comprised of one or more of nanofillers, diamond like coatings directly on the host matrix, and diamond like coatings on the nanofillers. In particular embodiments the specific pattern comprises one or more of a grid, edging, banding centering and combinations thereof and the high thermal conductivity materials cover 15-55% of the surface of the host matrix. Multiple surfaces, including sub layers my have patterning.
Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention as used for impregnating a composite tape (56) with HTC particles provides for permeating a fabric layer (51) of the composite tape with HTC particles and impregnating an impregnating resin into the composite tape through the fabric layer (51). At least 5% of the HTC particles permeated into the fabric layer are carried out of the fabric layer and into a mica layer (52) bound to the fabric layer by the impregnating resin. In some embodiments the impregnating resin itself contains HTC particles.

Abstract:
A method for the treatment of micro pores (24) within a mica paper (20) that includes obtaining a silane with a molecular weight of between approximately 15 and 300, and adding the silane to the mica paper (20). Then reacting the silane with the inner surface of the micro pores within the mica paper. After this, a resin is impregnated into the mica paper, and the resin binds to the inner surfaces of the micro pores (24) with the mica paper through the silane.

Abstract:
The present invention provides for a method of impregnating a matrix with a high thermal conductivity filled resin (32), which produces a resin impregnated matrix. The high thermal conductivity material (30) comprises 5-60% by volume of the resin (32). This is compressed by approximately 5-30%, and the distances between the high thermal conductivity materials loaded in the resin are reduced, and the resin is then cured.
Abstract:
In one embodiment the present invention provides for a diamond like coating on small particles. This comprises small particles (10) in the size range of approximately 1-1000 nm and a diamond like coating on the small particles. The diamond like coating is distributed over approximately 50-100% of the surface of the small particles and the diamond like coating is one micron or less in thickness. These small particles then may be applied to materials such as resins (12) and insulating tapes
