Sungkyunkwan University researchers developed a nanocomposite material with enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity and applied it to heat-dissipation technology for foldable smartphones. The team was led by professors Baik Seung-hyun and Choi Joon-myung of the School of Mechanical Engineering. The findings were published online on Aug. 24 in Advanced Functional Materials. The university said the material could also be developed into a thermal switching material.

A Sungkyunkwan University research team has developed a novel nanocomposite material with enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity.
The university said Tuesday that the team, led by professors Baik Seung-hyun and Choi Joon-myung of the School of Mechanical Engineering, developed the material and successfully applied it to a heat-dissipation technology for foldable smartphones.
The findings were published online on Aug. 24 in the international journal Advanced Functional Materials under the title “Ballistic-like Thermal Transport Between Fillers in Highly Conductive Stretchable Nanocomposites.”
