Abstract

The chapter investigates the growing importance of Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Materials (NePCMs) in the cooling of electronic devices. Following an introduction to PCMs and nanoparticles, the chapter discusses the beneficial aspects of NePCMs that make them suited for regulating the thermal parameters of electronic systems. Following that, the chapter delves into several NePCM-based thermal management methods for electronic equipment, such as heat absorbers, heat sinks, and heat sinks with heat pipes. NePCMs are explored in the context of specific applications as thermal management solutions in components such as IC chips and boards, transistors and laser diodes, and batteries. The chapter finishes by stressing the potential of NePCMs in heat control in electronics and suggesting future research and development possibilities.
