Abstract :
Polymers are important enablers for electronic systems. Current trends and challenges for the application of polymers in electronics are described. The transition to electro mobility leads to rising power density of automotive electronics. Therefore, polymers with high thermal stability and excellent heat dissipation are required. Within the EU funded FP7 project NANOPACK, Bosch investigated different thermal greases on a specific demonstrator. The results are described and discussed with focus on thermal performance and reliability.
