Composite thermal interface objects

Abstract:

In an example, a composite thermal interface object includes a first layer including a first thermal interface material that has first compliance characteristics. The first layer includes first graphite fibers, and the first graphite fibers are aligned in a direction that is substantially orthogonal to a surface of the first layer. The composite thermal interface object further includes a second layer including a second thermal interface material that has second compliance characteristics that are different from the first compliance characteristics.
