Thermal interface materials (TIMs) serve as the medium for heat transfer between two surfaces or interfaces, especially in electronic components and mechanical systems. These materials are engineered to effectively fill microscopic gaps and uneven surfaces, facilitating efficient heat dissipation from heat-generating components (such as processors and power units) to heat sinks or cooling devices. TIMs are crucial in managing the thermal performance of a system, ensuring reliability, longevity, and optimal functioning of electronic devices and systems. The increasing complexity and miniaturization of electronic devices, along with the escalating power densities, drive the need for highly efficient thermal management solutions.
TIMs play a critical role in addressing these thermal challenges, making them valuable in consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. Increasing regulatory emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability encourages the adoption of advanced thermal management solutions. Materials that offer enhanced performance with lower environmental impact are gaining preference and aligning with global sustainability goals. However, the wide variety of electronic applications requires customized TIM solutions, which can be challenging and resource-intensive to develop. Moreover, performance issues such as material degradation, a decrease in the effectiveness of TIMs, and difficulties in managing the overall thermal resistance of the interface can impede the adoption of the materials. However, continued research into new materials and composites, including carbon-based materials and metal-organic frameworks, can support breakthroughs in thermal conductivity and application methods. Continuous R&D efforts aimed at enhancing material properties such as thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and physical stability under operational stresses contribute to the expanding applications of TIMs. Expanding applications in electric and hybrid vehicles, renewable energy systems, and high-performance computing also offer new opportunities for TIMs.
