Filler Migration in TIMs
Why filled thermal interface materials are so sensitive to local filler content, how filler moves during squeeze flow and in service, and what reduces it.
TIM
Thermally Conductive Adhesives
When we look at the battery pack design for a vehicle we want to minimise the overall weight and hence need the cells to work structurally as part of the pack design. This leads us to Thermally Conductive Adhesives (TCAs) as a means of fixing cells to cooling systems and bonding them into a battery … Read more
Options for Thermal Interface Materials
What are the options for Thermal Interface Materials (TIM)? What is TIM? This is Thermal Interface Material and is designed to bridge the gap between surfaces and hence enable a better heat transfer. Thermal interface materials (TIMs) can be grouped and broken down in a few different ways, primarily by their product format (how they … Read more
TIM Application Pattern
The TIM application pattern is really important as you want complete coverage between the battery cells and the cooling system. What is TIM? This is Thermal Interface Material and is designed to bridge the gap between surfaces and hence enable a better heat transfer. No surface is perfectly flat and hence the TIM is a … Read more
