Conductive Silicones: Electrically Conductive vs. Thermally Conductive
Conductive silicones are silicone-based elastomers that conduct heat, electricity, or both heat and electricity. These compounds contain special fillers and are available as ready-to-fabricate materials or ready-to-install products. Unlike standard silicones, which are naturally insulating, conductive silicones can carry heat and/or electricity. Applications include aerospace, defense, electronics, electrical vehicles (EVs), and battery energy storage systems […]
