THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH GRAPHENE-BASED THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL

摘要

A thermal management system includes graphene paper disposed between a heat source and a heat sink to transfer heat therebetween. The graphene paper is oriented such that the individual layers are substantially perpendicular to the plane of the heat source and the plane of the heat sink to maximize heat transfer. The heat source and the heat sink can be any physical structure that emits and absorbs thermal energy, respectively. The graphene paper may be bonded to the heat source and the heat sink using a bonding agent, such as a thermally conductive material, and the like. The graphene paper may be formed in several different configurations, such as a spring structure, and the like.
