At left, an illustration of the tangled nature of the polymer filaments, with heat-stopping voids indicated as dark blobs. When drawn and heated into a thin thread (right), the molecules line up and the voids are compressed, making the material a good conductor.https://www.led-professional.com/media/technology_thermal-management_mit-team-coaxes-polymers-to-line-up-transforming-them-into-materials-that-could-dissipate-heat_mit_polymerconductor-jpg/viewhttps://www.led-professional.com/media/technology_thermal-management_mit-team-coaxes-polymers-to-line-up-transforming-them-into-materials-that-could-dissipate-heat_mit_polymerconductor-jpg/@@images/image-1200-5b198d28301947172ba844992dea1653.jpeg
