Abstract

Development of the next generation of micro- and nanoscale electronics requires efficient thermal management. As the dissipated power density increases, heat removal becomes a critical issue. This motivates researchers to investigate and synthesize materials that can drastically improve thermal management of electronic devices. The discovery of the exceptionally high thermal conductivity of graphene has led to significant progress in thermally conductive coatings and thermal interface materials. In this chapter, we review recent progress in graphene applications for thermal management, focusing on graphene laminates, reduced graphene oxide films, and graphene fillers in composite materials.
