Abstract:
1. A thermally conductive composite material for reducing electromagnetic emissions generated by an electronic device, the thermally conductive composite material comprising a thermally conductive material in particulate form, an electromagnetic-energy-absorptive material including iron silicide in particulate form, and a polymeric base material, the thermally conductive material and the electromagnetic-energy-absorptive material being suspended within the polymeric base material, the polymeric base material being substantially transparent to electromagnetic energy, wherein the thermally conductive composite material is configured such that when placed between an electronic device and a proximate structure, the thermally conductive material is operable for facilitating transfer of thermal energy from the electronic device and the electromagnetic-energy-absorptive material is operable for reducing electromagnetic emissions generated by the electronic device.
