Awarded the "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award for the 2024 Industrial Standardization Project"! [JIS standardization of the thermal diffusivity measurement method for graphite sheets]

Introducing devices for measuring the thermal diffusivity of sheet-like and plate-like materials, as well as thermal evaluation devices for fiber orientation distribution!

Introducing Bethel's thermal property measurement devices. The "Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35" is a measurement device for the thermal diffusivity of sheet and plate materials, capable of measuring the thermal diffusivity of functional materials. The "Thermal Microscope TM" has been commercialized through joint development with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology's Measurement Standards Division, allowing for measurements in micro-regions and thin films. Additionally, we offer the "Thermal Imaging Scope TSI," which visualizes thermal conduction paths using infrared cameras and lasers, as well as the "Fiber Orientation Evaluation System TEFOD." 【Features of the Thermo Wave Analyzer TA33/35】 ■ High freedom of sample shape ■ Dynamic range from organic films to diamonds ■ Anisotropy evaluation through measurements in horizontal and vertical directions ■ Evaluation of defects and irregularities through distribution measurements *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The anisotropy of the graphite sheet (in-plane direction and thickness direction) has become measurable!

○ Anisotropy of graphite sheets (in-plane direction and thickness direction) ○ Thermal diffusivity ○ Thermal conductivity

• Optical microscope

Non-contact measurement of thermal diffusivity using a laser. Measurement of resin-based materials is also possible.

The ThermoWave Analyzer TA measures thermal diffusivity using a non-contact method with a laser. Since the thermal conductivity of composite materials made of fillers and resins varies significantly with the mixing ratio, measuring thermal diffusivity is essential. Measurement of resin-based materials is also possible. Please contact us for more details.

■Measurement of thermal properties of carbon nanotube (CNT) applied materials ■Surface treatment is unnecessary (in the case of carbon-based materials) ■Essential for the development of high thermal conductivity materials! ■Non-contact measurement

• Composite Materials

Thermal conductivity distribution measurement and the anisotropy of thermal diffusivity in each part can be evaluated.

Here is an example of evaluating thin polyimide sheets. Polyimide sheets are resin materials primarily used as insulating substrates and insulating layers in electronic circuits. This time, we measured the thermal diffusivity in the thickness direction using a ThermoWave Analyzer TA on a sheet with a thickness of 7.5 μm. Even with the same polyimide sheet, there are significant thermal differences depending on the thickness. When comparing examples of 25 μm and 7.5 μm using the measure of thermal diffusion time, there is nearly a tenfold difference. The thinner sheet diffuses heat in one-tenth the time. For in-plane measurements, it is relatively easy to achieve time resolution since the distance between the heating point and the detection point can be established. However, for thickness direction measurements, it is necessary to detect rapid temperature changes, which affects the basic performance of the equipment. Traditional measurement methods make the measurement itself difficult. Additionally, at a thickness of 7.5 μm, the thermal effects of surface blackening treatment cannot be ignored, so we have devised methods to minimize these effects during sample preparation and measurement. The measurement results are as follows: Thermal diffusivity in the thickness direction: 0.103 × 10^-6 m²s^-1. This value is approximately 30% lower compared to the 25 μm thick polyimide.

In recent years, the miniaturization and high output of electronic devices have rapidly advanced, and as a result, thermal management (heat dissipation) has become a very important issue. Traditionally, heat dissipation has been maintained by using metals, but in recent years, it has begun to be replaced by "high thermal conductivity resins." High thermal conductivity resins are "lightweight" and have "moldability" compared to traditional metals, are "corrosion-resistant," and above all, have the advantage of being "low-cost." However, there is also the disadvantage of low thermal conductivity, and many material manufacturers are actively developing solutions to address this issue. It is expected that "high thermal conductivity resins" will become mainstream in the future. On the thermal properties blog, we introduce examples of thermal conductivity measurements of "high thermal conductivity resins." http://blog.thermal-measurement.info/archives/cat_50051425.html

Understanding the mechanism of heat transfer and effectively dissipating heat is important! Here we introduce various methods for measuring thermal properties.

Due to factors such as "miniaturization = fanless design" and "widespread use of power devices = increased heat generation," thermal issues have become important. Thermal conductivity measurement can be broadly classified into two categories: "steady-state method" and "transient method." The steady-state method provides direct thermal conductivity values and requires relatively large samples. The transient method can measure thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity, and it is possible to measure with relatively small samples. We provide further detailed explanations, so please take a look at the PDF download below. 【Characteristics of the "Steady-State Method" and "Transient Method"】 ■ Steady-State Method - Direct thermal conductivity can be obtained - Requires relatively large samples ■ Transient Method - Can measure thermal diffusivity and thermal effusivity - Can measure with relatively small samples - Requires specific heat capacity and density *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
