Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties of Thin Film Materials with High Thermal Conductivity - Matthew Charlton (with Prof. Rod Ruoff)

Proper handling of thermal energy is becoming an important challenge as smart energy grid technology develops. Many power generation facilities are now harvesting the heat byproducts from their processes and converting this thermal energy into usable forms. The management of this thermal energy is a big challenge from a number of aspects beyond the actual conversion process. For example, efficient transport and storage of the waste heat prior to transformation can be difficult to achieve. New materials like graphene and hexagonal boron...
