A research team from Sungkyunkwan University has created a groundbreaking nanocomposite material that exhibits improved electrical and thermal conductivity. Led by professors Baik Seung-hyun and Choi Joon-myung from the School of Mechanical Engineering, the team successfully integrated the material into a heat-dissipation technology for foldable smartphones.
Their findings were published in the international journal Advanced Functional Materials on August 24, under the title "Ballistic-like Thermal Transport Between Fillers in Highly Conductive Stretchable Nanocomposites." Baik served as the corresponding author, while research professor C. Muhammed Ajmal and researcher Cheon Seong-su acted as co-first authors.
The study highlights a unique physical phenomenon wherein the material's thermal conductivity increases when stretched, thanks to precise control of energy barriers between particles at the nanoscale. This discovery has the potential to significantly enhance thermal management in flexible electronic devices.
