Elastomeric Thermal Interface Materials with High Through‐Plane Thermal Conductivity from Carbon Fiber Fillers Vertically Aligned by Electrostatic Flocking

Abstract: Electrostatic flocking is applied to create an array of aligned carbon fibers from which an elastomeric thermal interface material (TIM) can be fabricated with a high through-plane thermal conductivity of 23.3 W/mK. A high thermal conductivity can be achieved with a significantly low filler level (13.2 wt%). As a result, this material retains the intrinsic properties of the matrix, i.e., elastomeric behavior.

“…Scaling of device dimensions has enabled performance enhancement but as a trade-off scaled devices experience higher leakage current induced excessive power consumption in their idle state. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This also results into higher heat dissipation and eventually lower battery lifetime. With increased demand for ultra-mobile electronics, this rapid power draining acts as one of the main show stoppers.…”

“…2b-f). The thermal conductivity in the orientation direction has a critical dependence on the orientation of fillers [11], and the strong alignment of BN determines the outstanding heat dissipation capability in the orientation direction. Figure 4 shows the thermal conductivity of POE/BN composites parallel and perpendicular to the BN flake aligning direction as a function of BN content.…”

“…Carbon-based materials and metallic fillers such as graphite [5], graphite/graphene nanoplateles (GNPs) [6,7], graphene [8], carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [9], carbon fiber [10,11], silver particles, silver nanowires [12], and copper nanowires [2,13] have been widely utilized to fabricate polymer-based TIMs owing to their extraordinary inherent thermal conductivity [14,15]. However, the incorporation of electrically conductive fillers will inevitably cause the great deterioration of electrical insulation performance, which hinders the wide use of these TIMs in next-generation microelectronics devices [16,17] such as LED devices with chips directly placing on the heat sink, single chip packages [18], and high-voltage devices.…”

“…The influence factors for thermal conductivity of TFCs are mainly from the following several aspects: filler shape, functional treatment technique, volume fraction, type of base fluid, directional alignment technique, interfacial thermal resistance [25][26][27], and so forth. Among them, the filler shape is one of the most important but easily overlooked factors.…”
