The invention is a highly conductive metal-containing polymer fiber or sheet made by immersing a polymer in a solution containing a metal precursor selected from organic or inorganic salts of copper, ...

Now, think about this for a little while, and you start to realize that metal has a few advantages over, say, wood when it comes to thermal conductivity. Metal is going to have its atoms and ...

Copper plating is often used as a step to make a part conductive so you can then plate with another metal. In addition to copper sulfate, you can use copper acetate. Sometimes, getting metal into ...

The UMass Amherst-led team is challenging the common belief that perfect fillers are the best choice for creating thermally ...

So we're going to talk about transition metals, which are found in the middle of the periodic table. What are their key properties? Miss Armit: So their key properties are they conduct electricity ...

(Image: Nanosurf) In C-AFM, a conductive AFM probe, typically made of silicon or silicon nitride and coated with a thin metal layer (e.g., gold or platinum), is used to scan the sample surface. The ...

their ultra-thin metal sheets – especially one-atom-thick bismuth – showed exceptionally high electrical conductivity, among other unique properties. Javier Sanchez-Yamagishi, a specialist in ...
