What if a fabric could conduct heat like metal, but still be flexible enough to be worn on the body? A team of Purdue University engineers have discovered that a commercial polymer fabric called Dyneema, used for bulletproof vests, has remarkable heat-conducting properties, on par with stainless steel. This could lead to wearable electronics that successfully cool both the device and the wearer’s skin.
This research was conducted by Aaditya Candadai, PhD student under mechanical engineering professors Amy Marconnet and Justin Weibel, as part of the Cooling Technologies Research Center: engineering.purdue.edu/CTRC and the Marconnet Thermal and Energy Conversion Lab: engineering.purdue.edu/MTEC
