Graphene Thermal Strap for Electronic Component Cooling Application

Research Project, 2020 – 2022

Purpose and goal: Electronic equipment is becoming more and more compact and powerful, which means higher heat generation in some areas and makes it a challenge to maintain an optimum temperature during operation.
in a relevant application by providing high thermal heat conduction in the graphene layer and with excellent flexibility, for heat dissipation in flying radar and laser applications. Expected results and effects: The project is expected to develop and characterize graphene-based heat-conducting bands for heat transfer in aerospace radar and laser applications, by replacing copper and aluminum in the current thermo-band with graphene. The aim is to achieve 50-100% improvement in the thermal conductivity of the graphene strips compared to aluminum or copper as a heat conducting material, with retained mechanical properties and of lower weight. Approach and implementation: Within the project, the following activities will be implemented: - development of graphene film with superior thermal conductivity in the planet - characterization of materials and graphene bands - design of demonstrator for testing under realistic conditions - evaluate results for heat conducting graphene bands - product customization for commercial manufacturing - publish relevant results
