Thermal management for electronics is critical where electronic components produce significant amounts of heat. Where this is the case, effective thermal management will prolong the working life of these components and also increase their reliability. Such components include power transistors, CPUs (central processing units) and power diodes used in the power electronics industry. For thermal management, mica offers adaptability and flexibility combined with high resistivity and stability. As an insulating material which will not conduct electricity, it is well suited in a wide range of applications in electronics.
Thermal management materials are essential in automotives, and this applies to emerging and developing automotive technology as much as it does established applications.
Investing in R&D is investing in creativity, but why then invest in creativity? The Royal Society points out to invest in R and D is to ultimately increase the stock of knowledge.
Two of the main routes
for businesses looking to innovate through product development are knowledge
transfer partnerships and R&D tax relief, but if you want to innovate and
develop, which will work best for you?
Some metals dissipate heat more effectively than others, and this thermal conductivity is essential in a range of applications. Thermal conductivity is the measure of a metal’s ability to conduct heat. What this means is that that the metal acts to cool temperatures, through a process of dissipation.
With rotary kilns, thermal management is the key to improved productivity and reduced downtime, leading to savings in both energy consumption and the cost of repairs and maintenance.
Investing in R&D is a
practical means of investing in innovation and, ultimately, your future. There
is obviously the question of how much to invest in R&D, but also how to
invest in it and choosing an R&D partner is integral to that.
