Advanced Functional Materials

Thermal management materials are designed to efficiently control and dissipate heat in systems and devices, ensuring optimal performance and preventing damage from overheating. These materials are used in applications where heat dissipation is critical, such as in electronics, automotive engines, and aerospace systems. Examples include thermal interface materials (TIMs), heat sinks, phase-change materials, and high-conductivity polymers. By enhancing heat transfer or enabling controlled heat absorption and release, thermal management materials help improve the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of devices and systems.
