Thermal Interface Materials

Thermal management is one of the most important topics in a wide range of applications; from electric vehicle battery packs through to consumer electronics, there is a pressing need to dissipate heat efficiently. Thermal interface materials (TIM) come in numerous types and play a crucial role in the thermal transfer from a heat source. This article looks at what the major innovations are for these materials and why those developments are significant.

Smart cities are now much more ambitious. That means new materials are their biggest enabler, with information and computer technology dropping to an important support role.

A huge market is opening for component and material suppliers in the thermal management arena.

Thermal management is one of the most important considerations for all consumer electronics. The rise of 5G-enabled smartphones brings an increase in challenges.

The new IDTechEx report, "Sensors 2021-2041" uniquely analyses the whole subject in the light of such seismic changes as the COVID-19 virus. The sensor business is in turmoil. The industries that spend most on sensors are changing as are the sensors.

Managing temperatures using appropriate electronics packaging materials is essential to ensure the reliability of high-power LED applications.

Overheating is the most critical issue in the computer industry.
