Abstract

See full text

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for aligning graphite nanofibers in a thermal interface material to enhance the thermal interface material performance. The method includes preparing the graphite nanofibers in a herringbone configuration, and dispersing the graphite nanofibers in the herringbone configuration into the thermal interface material. The method further includes applying a magnetic field of sufficient intensity to align the graphite nanofibers in the thermal interface material. The system includes the graphite nanofibers configured in a herringbone configuration and a means for dispersing the graphite nanofibers in the herringbone configuration into the thermal interface material. The system further includes a means for applying a magnetic field of sufficient intensity to align the graphite nanofibers in the thermal interface material.
