ENHANCED THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE CUSHIONING FOAMS BY ADDITION OF METAL MATERIALS

摘要

Methods and combinations for making and using one or more thermally conductive cellular foam layers (1) and other structures comprising flexible cellular foam (2, 3) and metallic material particulates, and said thermally-conductive cellular foam layers (1) may be located on, under, or in cushioning foams and mattresses (20, 110, 120) or placed between on, under, within, or between other layering substrates (2, 3), columns, and other structures to increase the overall cooling capability of the composite. The thermally conductive foam (1) may be used in mattresses (20, 110, 120), pillows (130, 140), bedding products, seat cushions (150), medical cushioning foams, pet beds, and similar materials used in bedding and comfort products.
