The thermal interface materials (TIMs) used for improving thermal contacts are considered in
terms of the performance, performance consideration criteria, performance evaluation …

This paper reports the in-plane dielectric, electret, piezoelectret and piezoresistive behavior
of exfoliated-graphite-based flexible graphite, with demonstrated feasibility of electret-based …

Incorporating liquid metal droplets into polymer matrix has become one of the most
promising strategies to enhance the thermally conductive performance of thermal interface …

Anisotropic heat spreaders (flexible graphite and continuous carbon fiber polymer-matrix
composite) and isotropic heat spreaders (copper and aluminum) have been evaluated …

The mechanical behavior of carbon nanotube (CNT) forests soaked in three solvents–
toluene, acetonitrile, and isopropanol–is examined. Effective stiffness of the structure is …

We show that a commercial microwave oven can be used after growth to increase alignment
of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and reduce their resistance as thermal and electrical interface …

As noted in Chapter 1, the actual solid-to-solid contact area, in most mechanical joints, is
only a small fraction of the apparent area. The voids between the actual contact spots are …
