Abstract
Metals are the preferred and obvious material choice in applications that require the dissipation of thermal and electrical loads. With recent advances in composite materials by Boston Materials, the material selection process for conductivity-driven applications is becoming multi-faceted. Especially if benefits of weight reduction and corrosion resistance are important, there is an opportunity for polymer matrix composites to enter into traditionally metallic applications, if the composite materials have sufficiently high thermal and electrical conductivities. Boston Materials has developed a technology to synthesize "metal-mimicking" polymer matrix composites. A proprietary microstructure that is produced by the vertical alignment of carbon fibers enables this conductivity enhancement. The inherent high conductivity, coupled with high specific strength and stiffness, of carbon fiber can now be toggled in the through-thickness (Z-axis) direction. The resulting properties are highly valuable in applications such as electronics thermal management and hydrogen fuel cells.
