Carbon composites for thermal management applications

A family of high thermal conductivity carbon fiber reinforced composites has been developed for thermal management applications in spacecraft and electronic packaging. Light weight Carbon-Carbon (C-C) composites can offer extremely high thermal conductivity in the fiber direction along with high stiffness and zero coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Thermal doubler and radiator face sheet are potential applications. On the other hand, metal impregnated C-C composites provides matching CTE to electronic packaging substrates, such as alumina and silicon. Avionic thermal planes and thermal spreader/heat sinks are possible applications. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
