[app_audio src=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/compositesweeklypodcast/KulrTechnologiesMichaelM042018.mp3″] This week, I welcome Michael Mo CEO of Kulr, a company using carbon fiber technology to make electronics safer, cooler and lighter.

KULR Technology Corporation owns proprietary carbon fiber based thermal management solutions that are generally more effective at storing, conducting, and dissipating heat generated by an electronic system’s internal components.

Their proprietary carbon fiber-based architecture replaces less efficient aluminum and copper based heat spreaders and exchangers, which are energy intensive and less environmentally friendly to produce.

Carbon fibers have small diameters approximately 5 to 10um, yet they are strong and stiff compared to other conductive materials such as metal. Carbon fiber also has good thermal conductivity, even several times higher than copper when it is suitably processed for thermal performance.

On this episode, Michael will be discussing his company’s history as well as the different technologies and applications it is being used for. These applications range from protecting batteries in electric cars to helping NASA prevent catastrophic fires in vehicles or space suits.
