C-Therm Newsletter: April 2023 Edition
The acquisition of the equipment has been very important for the development of the thermal projects carried out by our company. In addition to the simplicity and robustness of the instrument, the human team of this company has solved many problems and helped us on countless occasions. From our point of view, a wise choice to trust in C-Therm. - Antonio Patón Carrero , Process Control Engineer, Graphenano
Webinars
Batteries are widely used in many consumer and industrial applications, including electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. Increasing energy density, storage capacity, and cycling speed is crucial for better battery performance, but it leads to the generation of more waste heat. In this webinar, we discussed the thermophysical considerations of the battery cycling process and thermal hazards involved in lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells, as well as the test methods such as DSC, STA, TMA, and EGA.

As automotive manufacturers move towards greater electrification of vehicles, adequate thermal management has become a greater priority than ever before. The large battery in EVs requires significant heat dissipation to avoid thermal runaway of the battery cells. Our special guest speakers Elizabeth Knazs , Business Development Manager, and Matthew Haney , Chemist at H.B. Fuller , to discuss the current trends in EV thermal management, and how H.B. Fuller’s adhesives offer structural stability, and improved thermal conductivity over a wide temperature range. Click here to check out the recording of the webinar.

Thermal conductivity is a critical performance indicator for Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs), which quantifies their ability to transfer heat. The TIM Tester (ASTM D5470) is a popular method used to measure the thermal impedance of TIMs and can be used to calculate an “apparent” thermal conductivity. However, relying solely on TIM Tester measurements may miss several specifics of the sample, leading to an inaccurate understanding of overall performance and increased risk of potential safety issues when applied to a thermal management system. Here are five things you may miss when using a TIM Tester ? Click here to check it out.

Thermal conductivity is a critical property in the development of composites for use in solar cells.?The thermal conductivity of a material determines how well it can dissipate heat, which is crucial for preventing the solar cell from overheating and damaging its components. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of the composite can affect the efficiency of the solar cell by affecting the temperature of the solar cell.

A dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) is a powerful tool for measuring a material’s viscoelastic properties, which includes but is not limited to its stiffness, damping, and compliance. As a quick refresher, viscoelastic material properties are time dependent material properties that are highly dependent on temperature, frequency, strain and stress. What makes DMA such a powerful tool for viscoelastic materials, is that you can directly control these conditions (temperature, time, strain, etc.) with a Metravib Engineering DMA.
