Read moreMaterials that shrink when heated
Controlling the thermal expansion of composites is important for producing nanometer-scale electronic circuits, as well as the next-generation fuel cells and thermoelectric devices. An ability to combine negative thermal expansion materials with 'normal' materials which expand upon heating ensures a reduction in thermal expansion in a composite material.
