Thermoelectric Properties of Polymer and Organic-Inorganic Composites
Sahar Sarfaraz, Maria Wasim, Aneela Sabir, Muhammad Shafiq
This chapter provides insights of the thermoelectric properties of polymer in addition to organic and inorganic composites. Devoid of any maintenance requirement or moving parts, thermoelectric energy generation offers incredibly reliable, small sized, light and quiet operative power sources with no moving parts and no maintenance requirements. About two centuries ago, thermoelectricity was used as an alternate of petroleum power plants.
