Abstract: A process is provided for preparing a thermally conductive polymer composite. The method includes the steps of combining a linear, hydrophilic polymer and an organic, hydrophilic additive to form a blend. The additive includes at least two polar functional groups that are capable of forming hydrogen bonds. A thermally conductive polymer is also provided.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, the present invention provides a heat dissipating polymer materials (and films thereof) that utilize supramolecular chemistry. In various embodiments, these materials comprise networks of hydrogen bonded supramolecular crystals, self-assembled into aligned 2-D layered sheet structures that are distributed throughout a polymer matrix. In some of these embodiments, the heat dissipating polymer materials are prepared by in-situ co-precipitation of melamine and cyanuric acid in a PVA polymer resulting in homogenous distribution of MC crystals and the eventual formation of a network of hydrogen bonded melamine-cyanurate (MC) 2-D layered sheet structures throughout the PVA polymer.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the present invention is directed to polymer based heat dissipating materials and films that are highly elastic, thermally conductive and optically transparent and made using a non-conventional approach. The polymer based heat dissipating materials and films of the present invention use a hybrid filler comprising a very small loading of traditional fillers like boron nitride or graphene oxide combined with non-conventional fillers like organic linkers, dispersed in a preferably non-conductive polymer matrix. These hybrid fillers provide an elastic thermal network that drives heat conduction across the polymer chains, while provided flexibility and optical clarity.

Abstract: A method for testing software may include receiving a user request to run a test, and identifying a test flow document associated with the test. The test flow document may specify a plurality of test steps and define a test flow for the test. Each of the plurality of test steps may correspond to an independently-compiled set of instructions. The method may further include executing the plurality of test steps using dependency injection provided in accordance with the defined test flow.
