Biomimetic Liquid Metal-Elastomer Composited Foam with Adjustable Thermal Conductivity for Heat Control.

ABSTRACT: The application of traditional materials with constant thermal conductivity in time-varying thermal environments poses great challenges due to their inability of adjusting thermal conductivity according to different requirements, for which reason materials with adjustable thermal conductivity have attracted much attention. However, certain limitations induced by those materials' low softness or harsh adjustment conditions restrict them from being applied in heat dissipation and heat transfer scenarios. In this study, we report a biomimetic liquid metal-elastomer composited foam with adjustable thermal conductivity (B-LM-ECF). Inspired by the rationale of homeothermic animals regulating the thermal conductivity of their subcutaneous tissue, the prepared material adjusts its thermal conducti
