SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS

摘要

The device for extracting heat from carbon nanotubes wires or cables used under high power applications is provided. The device can include a thermally conductive member for placement against a heat source and for directing heat away from the heat source to a heat dissipating medium. The device can further include an electrically conductive member positioned on the thermally conductive member and made from a layer of carbon nanotubes, to reduce electrical resistance along the electrically conductive member. A geometric pattern can be imparted to the electrically conductive member to enhance dissipation of heat away from the thermally conductive member and the heat source.
