We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Thermal Conductivity",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Polymer provides long working life for bearings from
Victrex, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hiperax bearings Victrex Peek 450FC30 are made of can support loads of up to 8 MPa while running continuously in water at 65C".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Fire protection cabinets protect refinery from
Intertec Hess: "In tests the internal temperature of Intertec cabinets did not rise above 60C for at least 30 minutes when subjected to an oil-based fire with a temperature of around 1000C".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Hach Ultra Analytics
concerning its Orbisphere 510
- take a look at System provides sensors with multiple channels
which says: "Hach Ultra's Orbisphere 510 offers a multi-channel capability for both thermal conductivity sensors measuring CO2 and N2 and for electrochemical sensors measuring O2".
Take a look also at the news release from Smithers Rapra, Polymer, defence and aerospace industries gather,
as well as Korenix delivers industrial Gigabit switches from Korenix Technology,
and AlSiC metal-matrix composite offers longevity from CPS Corp.
