Abstract
- The role of electronic devices in our lives is increasing rapidly, with more research focusing on miniaturization, creating more demand for thermal interface materials (TIM). Grease-based TIM presently available have good thermal conductivity values, but issues such as contamination, pump-out, and an additional curing step are observed. Fibrous textile substrates are soft and flexible, making them suitable for occupying the asperities between the heat sink and heat-producing devices. However, they are insulating in nature and can be made conductive using conductive fillers such as graphene oxide (GO). In this article, a networked through-plane thermally conductive TIM using the cutting waste of polyester and GO was fabricated. The methodology involved functionalizing the PET substrate and studying its interaction with GO. A networked GO/PET, (N-GOPET) hybrid TIM was fabricated from waste PET with good through-plane heat conduction performance, softness, and cuttability as a promising replacement for grease-based TIM.
