Thermal conductivity (science fair project)

[DotzHyper]

Hello, i’m planning to do a science fair project where I test out different elements on the periodic table. Problem is, it’s very difficult to find exact elements of different compounds, can anyone tell me if;

A. Most if not all use the same element

B. Don’t announce the elements because they don’t  want recipes stolen.

or 

C. Help me with a way to find out individual websites/reaserch ways / anything you know about your current grease. 

I’m 14 years old, and this will be price/performance and more complicated stuff I haven’t mentioned

thank you, 

Lucas

its usually a mix of copper, aluminum and occasionally nickel I believe for cpu coolers if that's what you are looking for

(never specified specifically what your asking for but im assuming "all" is a cooler?). maybe I misread please correct me if i did

That does help! Im mainly looking to buy products already made but the plan could change, i have plenty of time ! I simply didnt know where to put this I thought cpu coolers and thermal paste go together.

I work in the semiconductor industry and if you want some high mag. Images and measurements of some compounds just send me a on and ill take some for you. 

 

 

here are some quick pics of cooler master maker gel nano.  You can see the diamonds in it
