Abstract:
1. An electronic assembly comprising: a heat source having a maximum operating temperature; a heat dissipating device; and a thermal interface material sandwiched between the heat source and the heat dissipating device, the thermal interface material comprising: wherein when the heat source operates at a temperature above the first melting temperature and at or below the maximum operating temperature for a first time, the first thermally conductive particles of the first size fuse and agglomerate; when the temperature of the heat source is subsequently reduced to below the first melting temperature, the first thermally conductive particles of the second size are formed; when the heat source operates at the temperature above the first melting temperature and at or below the maximum operating temperature after the first time, the first thermally conductive particles of the second size are adapted to transfer heat generated by the heat source.
