- Polymeric compositions have been developed as an interface material for and between electronic components, i.e., a placement material in the air gaps.
- a thermally conductive composition is placed between the heat transfer surfaces as a thermal adhesive material.
- the composition is used as an underfill in flip chip assemblies (" 1 TCs") and the like.
- the polymeric material serves to encapsulate devices in electronic module assembly.
- a thermally conductive composition is an admixture of cured polymer gel component and a filler component.
