Abstract:
1. A thermally conductive panel for dissipating heat from a heat source comprising: a honeycomb core interior portion extending between a first end portion and a second end portion of the panel; a non-metallic thermally conductive face sheet extending across an outer surface of the honeycomb core interior portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the panel, the non-metallic thermally conductive face sheet having a thermal conductivity, along at least one axis extending along the outer surface of the honeycomb core interior portion, of at least about 25 Watts per meter-Kelvin; and a heat source attached to the thermally conductive panel, wherein heat is dissipated from the heat source, into the non-metallic thermally conductive face sheet, and along the non-metallic thermally conductive face sheet along the at least one axis.
