The extraordinary properties of Graphene are well known, and in the context of electronics thermal management and reliability, it is about 200 times stronger than the strongest steel and conducts heat and electricity very efficiently. Both graphene and carbon nanotubes consist of six-atom rings, which create the well-known hexagonal Honeycomb structure, and both excel at the … [Read more...]
Thermal Effects in Supercapacitors
Supercapacitors (also referred to as electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC), electrochemical capacitors, electrochemical supercapacitors, and ultracapacitors) are a class of energy storage devices that bridge the gap between electrolytic capacitors and rechargeable batteries. Supercapacitors can typically store 10 to 100 times more energy per unit volume or mass than their … [Read more...]
The US Navy is Looking for a Few Good TIMs!
The first Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) announcement for 2017 by the US Department of Defense (DoD) is out and there is one topic of great interest to thermal management professionals: topic # N171-081 “High Performance Thermal Interface Material for Energy Storage Devices and Other Electronic Components” by the US Navy, which is seeking thermal interface materials … [Read more...]
Thermal Management in Body-Embedded Electronics
We are entering an era where electronics technology is increasingly being integrated with biological systems in vivo. These technology solutions interact with organs and skeletal-, muscular- and nervous-systems of biological entities through hybridization of disparate solutions that merge to serve a common purpose. Biohybrid systems that interface and thus enable the … [Read more...]
Thermal Management in Consumer-Grade Digital Cameras
The proliferation of digital cameras and their subsequent modular integration in mobile communication and hand-held devices has made today’s photography almost trivial. The latter, i.e., the integration in mobile and hand-held devices is largely made possible by advancements in imaging technology as well as miniaturizing optics and the requisite electronics. Most camera … [Read more...]
