Review of Thermal Contact Resistance of Flexible Graphite Materials for Thermal Interfaces in High Heat Flux Applications
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
In this report the data is reviewed on thermal contact conductance (TCC) and/or thermal contact resistance (TCR) at material interfaces which employs flexible graphite (FG) materials as thermal interface materials (TIM). FG materials are often used as TIM due to their conforming nature. While the overall TCR can be estimated straightforward from measured data, the interface TCR is much more difficult to obtain. The report also discusses the interfacial thermal contact conductance between FG-tungsten and FG-Glidcop-Al15, which are envisioned for high-heat flux applications.
