Nanostructures control heat transfer -- ScienceDaily

For the first time, Prof. Dr. Markus Retsch and his research group at the University of Bayreuth have succeeded in precisely controlling temperature-dependent thermal conductivity with the help of polymer materials. These advanced functional materials -- initially produced for laboratory experiments -- have now been presented in the journal Science Advances. The findings are of great relevance to the development of new concepts of thermal insulation.
