Upon lab testing, Mylar isn't nearly as conductive as we need. We're looking into adhesives and other bonding methods for aluminum. Also, if there are Mylar composites with thick layers of aluminum compared to the polymer layers, those could be useful as well.
Mylar is a good material, but all I've found have very thin Aluminum layers compared to polyethylene or polystyrene layers. This eliminates the good heat transfer capabilities of the material.
If parts of the polyethylene or polystyrene layers of Mylar could be removed leaving only foil, that...
Our application requires a hermetically sealed, heat conducting pouch for a chemical heating reaction to conduct heat to a surrounding water environment. The byproducts of the heating reaction are hazardous and must be kept separate from the water environment. We have been attempting to make...
