Advances in Thermal Management with Epoxy Systems

Reliability Society

Brian Bruce, Applications Engineer, Epoxy Technology, Inc.

Epoxy Technology has investigated the mechanism of thermal conductivity in electrically conductive adhesives. Utilizing laser flash testing and SEM cross sections, we determined how silver flake distribution effects thermal conductivity. Cure, interface, and processing play a significant role in thermal management. This reviews a new laser flash sample preparation methodology that provides more accurate measurement of “in-design” thermal resistance.

Bio: Brian Bruce is the Manager, Applications Engineering Lab with over 9 years of specialized training and experience in epoxy and UV adhesive applications. He has supported numerous Fortune 500 companies in their manufacturing assembly and bonding needs. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from Wheaton College, and currently is employed by Epoxy Technology Inc.
