Thermal and/or Electrical Contact Conduction Enhancer
- 总结
- Researchers at Purdue University have developed a product that provides greater conduction at the interface of two surfaces than other removable products. The technology affords this advantage by creating increased contact area at the interface through billions of surface contact sites, and in effect, reduces the thermal and electrical resistance between the two surfaces. This product is versatile enough to be used alone or with existing commercial greases and wax-based PCMs.

- *Abstract
-
- *Background
- In the electronics industry, a common issue is the transfer of heat away from heat producing components and the surrounding components. Continuous contact between the components is not physically possible resulting in an air gap, which is a very poor conductor. Current methods to compensate for these gaps include thermal greases and phase change materials (PCMs), which have efficiency limitations.
