Thermal Conductivity: Efficiently Controlling the 3D Thermal Conductivity of a Polymer Nanocomposite via a Hyperelastic Double‐Continuous Network of Graphene and Sponge (Adv. Funct. Mater. 45/2018)

Abstract

In article 1805053, Mengmeng Qin, Wei Feng, Li Chen, and co-workers report a hyperelastic double-continuous network of graphene and sponge. The 3D continuous graphene network facilitates phonon transmission through the polymer matrix. The structure and thermal conductivity of the composites are effectively and precisely controlled by the hyperelastic deformation of the network. Such thermal transfer materials are promising for temperature detection in robotic skin.
