Thermal Interface Materials


Stanford Reference:

03-235


Abstract


This invention provides a technique using nano-structured materials to improve the heat transfer capability of traditional composite thermal interface materials. An embodiment of the present invention indicates that the enhancement in thermal conductivity can be more than 100%.

Applications


  • Promote heat flow from a heat-generating device to its cooling components
  • Release thermal expansion mismatch

Advantages


  • Higher thermal conductivity
  • Lower interface thermal resistance
  • Compatible usage with traditional thermal interface materials
