A coating for mitigating metal whiskers on a metal surface includes a polymeric coating material; and a metal ion complexing agent impregnated within the polymeric coating material, the metal ion complexing agent having a standard reduction potential (E&#xb0;) that is greater than a metal in the metal surface.

Coating for the mitigation of metal whiskers

An article of manufacture includes a zinc sulfide layer and a coupling agent adhered to the zinc sulfide layer by a disulfide bond. The coupling agent comprises a functional group extending from the zinc sulfide layer.

Zinc sulfide coupling agents

A thermal interface structure includes a first surface including a surface of a heat generating device, a first surface binding polymer bonded to the first surface, a second surface including a surface of a heat sink, and a second surface binding polymer bonded to the second surface. The first surface binding polymer and the second surface binding polymer cross-link to one another to form a covalently bonded, cross-linked section that creates a thermal interface material that forms a continuous molecular connection between the first surface and the second surface.
