haverhill, england- april 29, 2014 — electronics thermal management innovator cambridge nanotherm® ltd has announced that ul® has given recognized status to its nanotherm® laminated copper (lc) thermal management products.

the recognition assures that the products have been found to be effective and safe after being subject to tests by ul international (uk) ltd. the environmentally-friendly thermal management substrate solutions are enabling customers to add another high-performance material choice to their design tool box. the nanotherm® lc material not only allows the customer to create a design based upon a conventional pcb, but also the ability to add the circuit to any 3d shape – creating a circuit-on-heat sink solution.

our unique nano-ceramic materials make electronic and led devices shine brighter, last longer or function far more efficiently. we provide solutions to complex power consumption problems in the automotive, industrial and consumer domains, with a technology portfolio that includes nanotherm lc (laminated copper) – a high-performance mcpcb (metal core pcb) for thermally challenging electronics.

steven curtis, cambridge nanotherm’s chief engineering officer, commented, “this is fantastic news for ourselves and our customers. it gives them the confidence to use our materials in their thermally challenging designs knowing that they have met ul’s stringent electrical and flammability standards.”

nanotherm® technology

nanotherm® ceramic is grown on the surface of aluminium to create a dielectric layer directly onto the surface of an aluminium substrate. the nano-ceramic dielectric layer is between two and 10 times thinner than the competition and achieves an industry-leading thermal resistance of 0.014 ^occm²/w. the dielectric has a thermal conductivity of 7 w/mk which is 2-3 times more effective at heat dissipation than conventional mb pcb (metal back printed circuit board) dielectric materials.
