Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) come in different forms, including thermal pads, thermal grease, gap fillers, thermal paste, and thermal gels. Thermal gel and thermal paste, two of the most commonly used forms, have gained significant momentum over the past several years, especially in the EV, data center, and 5G industries.

Thursday 20 April - The Surging Market for Thermal Interface Materials. This webinar will give a general overview of the TIMs used in EV, Data Center, ASAS, EMI shielding, 5G, and Consumer Electronics. The webinar discusses how TIM properties and demand will change with an analysis of the market trend and industrial news and collaborations.

Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) come in different forms and thermal conductivities. Typical TIM forms include gap pads, thermal greases, thermally conductive adhesives (TCA), and phase change materials.

Integrated Graphene produce a graphene product called Gii for electrochemical sensing. IDTechEx spoke to Integrated Graphene at Medica 2022, where the company were showcasing their products for biosensor applications.

Thermal Interface Material (TIM) plays an important role in power electronics, computing processors, sensors, and energy storage devices. TIMs are the materials used to fill the void between heat sources and heat sinks to enhance heat transfer.

Using graphene to improve the performance of energy storage devices has been a key focus ever since the 2D material was isolated. As soon as the first commercial graphene manufacturers were established, there has been a steady stream of announcements related to batteries, but perhaps none are as significant as the 2023 news of Evonik entering the field with their investment in SuperC.

Shinko Electric Industries Co Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Shinko) is a public Japan-based company mainly engaged in the development, manufacture, and sale of products based on semiconductor mounting technology. Shinko produced CNT composite material under the licensed technology from Fujitsu Limited.

This premium article gives an introduction to advanced thermal interface materials (TIMs) and discusses carbon-based TIMs, in particular graphite, carbon nanotubes, and graphene.

A complimentary magazine by IDTechEx covering technology trends from 2022 and looking ahead to 2023.

Is this the year of rapid graphene sales? Are we slipping deeper into a disillusionment phase? Who will emerge as the market leaders? Is consolidation inevitable? 2023 will be a telling year for the industry.

GrapheneLab is a Korean company manufacturing CVD graphene. IDTechEx spoke with Jeong Joon Young.

Avadain Graphene are a US-based company, providing technology solutions for the production of graphene. IDTechEx spoke with Bradley Larschan (CEO).

The true description of graphene is that of a single atomic layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal array. However, the nanocarbon material landscape is much more complicated than this simple statement, with single-layer, few-layer, multi-layer, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and both graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) all to be considered as types of graphene.

Is Graphene Green? This question comes up an increasing amount. Green drivers and ESG investments are an obvious focus across the supply chain, but where does graphene fit into this discussion? IDTechEx explore the answer in this article.

Cardea Bio produces the BPU, a biosensor chip that uses graphene.

In her research on bone tissue engineering, Dr. Marta Cerruti has worked for years with graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms with incredible properties - electrical conductivity and the ability to support tremendous weight. Now, her quest to improve its qualities has opened the door to a possible solution to one of the challenges of producing hydrogen from seawater.

IDTechEx attended Graphene Week on September 7-8, 2022, which was held in the BMW Welt & Museum, in Munich, Germany. This premium article covers the latest research from the field of academia with potential commercial opportunities and takes a deeper dive into the content covered at the Graphene Innovation Forum that was held during the conference.

As of mid-2022, the global graphene and graphene oxide installed capacity easily exceeds 12,000 tonnes per year, but utilization is low as the orders lag significantly behind. Is this a natural part of the commercial journey, or has hype overcome reality? Is this a case of "build it, they will come", or are there real market needs? What does the future hold for these graphene manufacturers? IDTechEx provides an independent perspective on these questions and more.

The past decade has seen an ever-increasing number of companies within the graphene market, with a seemingly constant stream of new material suppliers appearing. As is the case for any well-established industry, market stability and profitability are expected to go hand in hand with the emergence of a handful of dominant players within the material supply chain.
