CORE SHELL WITH VARIOUS FILLER MATERIALS FOR ENHANCED THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY

Abstract:

A composite housing of an electronic device can include a metal shell including a first material having a first set of material properties and a surface at least partially defining an exterior surface of the electronic device. The composite housing can also include an interior portion including a second material having a second set of material properties independent of the first set of material properties and at least partially defining a feature. The interior portion can be bonded to the shell and disposed interior to the surface of the shell.
