Advances in Thermal Management Materials and Adhesives for Medical Electronics

The demand for thermal management materials and adhesives is driven by the unwanted and potentially harmful heat generated by ever-shrinking electronic components and systems in all areas of the electronics market, including medical. In recent years, more functionality has been included in a single device and the size of each new device has gotten smaller. Miniaturized components in tight packages with high power output create the challenges that design engineers are now facing.
