A New Project on Manufacturing Graphene/Aluminium Composites for Thermal Management
1 February 2022
30K has been Funded by HEIF to investigate graphene/Aluminium composites for thermal management, which can be used in electronic devices for heat transfer and cooling.
The Al-Gr Composite successfully combines graphene with aluminium will result in enhanced thermal and electrical conductivity and improved mechanical properties retaining aluminium's light weight:
- Micro-hardness increase
- Thermal conductivity increase
- Electrical conductivity increase
- The composite is almost free from oxidation
Al-Gr Composite has the potential to be used across various electrical and thermal conductivity applications with its significant advantage of weight reduction - wires and cables in motors for electric vehicles, aerospace, space, and satellite technologies, among others.
