No bearing on the over-all topic, but...

Depending on your definition of "plastic", it can. I sell electronics for aerospace use. Electronics that are exposed to vacuum can't dissipate heat via air convection (no air). These products have epoxy injected into all "air spaces". This epoxy provides enough thermal dissipation to keep the electronics happy and functional in vacuum.

Now, back to the argument...
