Title: Innovations of Inventor Kai Zhang
Introduction
Kai Zhang is a notable inventor based in Hong Kong, China. He has made significant contributions to the field of thermal interface materials, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to enhancing thermal management technologies.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Three dimensional interconnected porous graphene-based thermal interface materials." This invention provides thermal conduction or thermal dissipation across an interface using a three-dimensional interconnected porous graphene (3D-IPG) foam structure. The 3D-IPG foam is constructed of interconnected graphene sheets formed as a plurality of monolayers, featuring a flexible interconnection architecture. This design allows the 3D-IPG to maintain high interfacial thermal conductance by filling gaps between heat sources and heat sinks, effectively capping small features up to nanoscale roughened surfaces.
Another significant patent is "Heat dissipation structure with aligned carbon nanotube arrays and methods for manufacturing and use." This invention involves a heat dissipation structure with aligned carbon nanotube arrays formed on both sides. The carbon nanotube arrays serve as thermal interface material, extending and dissipating heat directly from a heat source surface to a cooler surface. In some embodiments, an adhesive material is used to assemble the heat dissipation structure, while in others, the carbon nanotube arrays are formed on at least one surface and can serve as fins to enhance heat dissipation area and improve thermal convection.
