This document gives information on the thermal design of integrated circuits in plastic packages. It provides some factors that the designer should consider before the necessary heat sinking can be ...

Plastic is often given a bad reputation. With more than 380 million tons produced every year and up to 60% of this ending up as waste, plastic is literally building up in landfill sites and oceans ...

The spaghetti-like internal structure of most plastics makes it hard for them to cast away heat, but a research team has made a plastic blend that does so 10 times better than its conventional ...

Plastics are excellent insulators, meaning they efficiently trap heat—a quality that is an advantage in something such as a coffee cup sleeve. But this insulating property is less desirable in ...

In a significant breakthrough for the plastics industry, researchers from Institut Teknologi Bandung have developed a method to transform palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD), a by-product of palm oil ...

The companyÕs thermally conductive polycarbonate plastic has been employed in a high torque, integrated motor plus microstepping driver from Intelligent Motion Systems. Offered as an alternative to ...

In 1950, global plastic production was about 2 million tons. It’s now about 400 million tons – an increase of nearly 20,000%. As a material, it has seemingly limitless potential. Plastic is ...
