Market Overview

Thermal interfaces are the materials or products that conduct heat between two or more solid mating surfaces, thereby aiding in thermal management. They are most commonly made up of metal oxides, ceramics, and silver powders due to their heat conductivity. The introduction of TIMs is being encouraged by the need to increase the energy efficiency of electrical gadgets. Effective thermal management techniques are needed in the production of EVs in order to handle the heat produced by electric motors, power electronics, and batteries. The market is further stimulated by the expansion of data center infrastructure, which is fueled by the rising demand for data processing and storage. The nanodiamonds-based TIMS which have a very high level of heat dissipation capability with a low dielectric constant were developed by Ray Technique Ltd. This opens the door to quicker semiconductors that can operate at higher clock speeds for longer periods of time.
