Topical SYMPOSIUM TS4
Surface Engineering for Thermal Interfaces, Heat Flow Control, and Thermal Energy Management

 

Symposium Chairs

Andrey Voevodin, Air Force Research Laboratory, USA
Timothy Fisher, Purdue University, USA 

The session will discuss surface engineering approaches for thermal energy management, using thin film nanolayers, nanostructures, nanotube arrays, etc.  The focus will be on the surface modification for directional and tailored thermal conductivity from cryogenic to elevated temperatures, technologies for adaptive thermal interfaces to control heat flow transport, embedded phase change materials for thermal energy storage, surface structures for thermal energy conversion and harvesting, nanostructures for thermal dissipation by photon emissions, etc.  Experimental and modeling papers are welcomed.”

 

Invited Speakers 

D. Cahill, University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, USA, “Thermal Conductivity Control with Thin Films”, d-cahill@uiuc.edu

Umesh Waghmare, JNCASR, India, “TBD”
