MIT scientists transform polyethylene into a heat-conducting material
(09 Mar 2010)
Conducts heat just as well as most metals, yet remains an electrical insulator
Most polymers - materials made of long, chain-like molecules - are very good insulators for both heat and electricity. But an MIT team has found a way to transform the most widely used polymer, polyethylene, into a material that conducts heat ......
