Construction of Thermal Bridge in Alumina/Polydimethylsiloxane Composites by Selective Location of Erythritol.

Langmuir

January 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Thermal Management Engineering & Materials, National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory of Functional Carbon Materials, Shenzhen 518055, China.

Alumina/polymer composites are conventional thermal interface materials widely used for heat dissipation. However, the interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) dominates the thermal conductivity (TC) of these composites, presenting a critical challenge. This study introduces erythritol as an innovative thermal bridge to effectively reduce the ITR by selectively locating it at the interfaces among alumina (AlO) particles.
