Thermal Interface Materials Market
Market Research and Market Trends of Thermal Interface Materials
The new class of Thermal Interface Materials delivers ultralow thermal resistance for compact power electronics. When electronics get more compact and robust, the heat dissipated per unit area of the electronic devices increases and moving components of machinery operate at higher speeds, creating additional heat. Thermal Interface Materials enable the removal of heat generated from the operation of electro-chemical, electronic and mechanical devices. These new TIMs fill the gaps between thermal transfer surfaces such as microprocessors and power electronics devices, and the heat sinks to increase thermal transfer efficiency.
A new generation of polymer-based TIMs are introduced in the chemical industry, which uses boron nitride nanosheet (BNNS) fillers to enhance thermal conductivity. BNNS is a two-dimensional crystalline form of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), also known as white graphene. It has a similar geometry to all of its carbon analog graphene but few very different properties. A recent study demonstrates that an h-BN thin film composed layer-by-layer of laminated h-BN nanosheets can enhance lateral heat dissipation on a substrate. Thermal performance has improved with the boron nitride coating due to its anisotropic thermal conductivity.
