Electrolytic Heat Switch
Abstract
Experiments demonstrated feasibility of electrolytic device of electrically-controllable thermal conductivity. Device includes inner ionomeric layer of low thermal conductivity sandwiched between two metal-foil electrodes. Device's ionomeric layer will be conductive polymer - perhaps polyaniline. In effect, device will be metal/conductive-polymer secondary electrical cell.
