cooingzone 2014 is honored to have dr. carl zweben, ph.d.,present on "high-performance materials for electronic enclosures"; coolingzone 2014 is being held october 20-21, 2014. click here for the main conference page and more information on registering and the full schedule.
the conventional materials used for electronic enclosures - steel, aluminum and polymers - date from earlier centuries. many applications require enclosures that are lighter and/or more thermally conductive than can be obtained with these materials. this applies to commercial, as well as aerospace, applications. a tower-mounted remote radio unit (rru) is one example. we now have advanced materials that can provide significant improvements, and are being used in an increasing number of applications. they include polymer matrix-, metal matrix- and carbon-matrix composites, and monolithic carbonaceous materials. we review the properties and applications of these materials.
