New Thermal Adhesive Boasts Twice the Conductivity at Half the Cost
3M’s Electronics Markets Materials Division (EMMD) has released 3M 8904, a thermally conductive adhesive tape for thermal management and part bonding in electronic devices, as well as general heat dissipation. Containing thermally conductive particles as well as flame resistant fillers, 3M 8904 offers twice the thermal conductivity at half the material cost. The new adhesive … [Read more...]
Polymer-Based Thermal Interface Material Cools Devices at 200°C
Scientists have developed a new polymer-based thermal interface material (TIM) capable of conducing heat 20 times better than conventional polymer. Reliable in temperatures of up to 200°C, the modified material can be fabricated on heat sinks and heat spreaders and adheres well to components in servers, LEDs and mobile devices. “Thermal management schemes can get more … [Read more...]
High Thermal Conductivity Thin Film
Fujipoly America has announced Sarcon 30-YR-a Thin Film, a new high performance thermal interface material. Measuring just 0.3mm thick, the Sarcon 30-YR-a thin film exhibits a thermal conductivity of 2.2 W/m°K with a thermal resistance of .28°Cin2/W. When placed between a heat source such as a high-performance semiconductor and a nearby heatsink, Sarcon 30-YR-a effectively … [Read more...]
