Modern electronic devices require thermal interface materials to effectively transfer heat from operating components to ensure consistent and reliable performance. These materials range from greases and pads to gap fillers and liquid adhesives.
Liquid adhesives have a variety of advantages over pads. Specifically, they eliminate the need for mechanical fasteners, reduce the amount of material needed in a given application, decrease the residual stresses on electronic components, and enable automated assembly. These advantages lead to electronic devices that are smaller, more reliable, and more efficient than previous devices.
The mechanical properties of thermally conductive adhesives are well-known and documented, but the fracture behavior of these materials is less understood. The fracture toughness of a thermally conductive adhesive can have important effects on the performance of an electronic assembly, especially as it relates to issues of fatigue and reliability.
