This study aims to enhance thermal transport research by utilizing a Transient Electrothermal Technique (TET) to test a variety of microfibers. The approach involves adjusting temperature quickly or slowly based on thermal diffusivity levels to achieve instant and accurate measurement results. Current work includes testing polyester and platinum fibers, with future plans to analyze data more effectively and test additional fibers within a three-week timeframe.
