Abstract
Metallic cellular materials with various topologies, including foams, pyramidal lattices, Kagome lattices, and woven textiles, have been experimentally investigated by previous researchers[1∼9]in the Micromechanics Centre, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, aiming to develop ultralight multifunctional heat sink media. Parameters of specimens with different topologies involved in these studies are summarized in Table 6.1. Presenting these results in a single diagram can provide a reference for topology selection of cellular materials used for ultralight multifunctional heat sinks.
