Like carbon nanotubes, graphene is an excellent conductor of heat, so graphene chips could stay cooler than silicon chips. A metal die is a very good conductor of heat, so unless polymer flow through the die hole is sufficient, the water will cool the holes, and polymer will solidify in them. Aluminum conducts heat a little better than copper, copper is a better heat conductor than cast iron, cast iron is a much better heat conductor than stainless steel, and stainless steel is a much better conductor of heat than glass. |
