Triton Introduces CryoCarbon (tm) High Thermal Conductivity Carbon Composites

PRLog (Press Release) - Nov 18, 2009 -
Triton introduces Cryo-Carbon™, a new carbon-carbon (C-C) composite material with increased thermal conductivity for your extreme heat dissipation applications.

Cryo-Carbon™ is comprised of 70% graphite flake which provides two-dimensional conductivity in excess of 550 W/mK. Unlike pitch-based fiber composites which only provide conductivity in the axial direction of the filament, conductive flake offers two-dimensional conductivity, providing increased thermal performance throughout the composite X-Y plane -- 0 thru 360 degrees.  Combined with a high thermally conductive graphitic matrix, a C-C composite which outperforms fiber-based 2D materials in thermal performance is produced.

Additionally, Cryo-Carbon™ composites can be molded into continuous complex shapes with conductive paths oriented X-Y, X-Z or Y-Z.  The composites are robust and can be machined to accommodate interface tolerances for heat sinks and other heat dissipative devices.
