Номер: US20120280168A1

A thermo-interface material composite uses a thermo-interface material containing silver nanowires. The silver nanowires have high aspect ratios, high thermo-conductivity coefficients and good anti-oxidation capabilities. Hence, an amount of silver nanowires can be added fewer than that of a traditional metal or ceramic powder. In this way, defects on device surface can be speckled during a dispersal process for improving adhesion between devices. Thus, a thermo-interface material is fabricated to obtain a high thermo-conductivity coefficient for further forming a thermo-channel.

Surface treatment of beverage containers to keep the beverage cool

Номер: US20140026595A1
Принадлежит: Individual

The invention pertains to a method suitable to reduce the heat transfer into a beverage container in order to keep the beverage cool over an extended period of time after taken from the refrigerator. The method is based on a surface treatment of the beverage container which comprises a binder in which phase change material is incorporated. By absorbing latent heat without a temperature increase, the phase change material creates a thermal barrier against heat penetration. The binder with the phase change material contained wherein is applied to the surface of the beverage container, for instance, by spray coating. The coating layer covers most of the container's surface. A second coating layer which does not contain phase change material is applied on top of the first coating layer in order to provide protection against mechanical stress during high speed filling and packaging.
