Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are available in various forms, including adhesives, gels, greases, pads, tapes, waxes, etc. These materials are often referred to as nanocomposites due to their anisotropic combination of multiple components. However, its name differs from application to application. Common types of TIMs include polymers, epoxies, silicones, elastomers, sodium, silicates, aluminum, graphite, ceramics, cobalt, ferrite, polyetherimide, and polyvinyl alcohol and etc. TIMs play a crucial role in maintaining the recommended operating temperatures in systems across various fields, such as electronics and automobiles, energy sectors, etc. When selecting a thermal interface material, it’s essential to consider several factors, including design philosophy, operating conditions, expected lifespan, cost profile, inspection and maintenance requirements, safety and environmental impact, failure risks, residual life assessments, integrity studies, and compliance with international regulations and project specifications.
