Abstract

A laminar, thermally-conductive interface interposable intermediate a first heat transfer surface and an opposing second heat transfer surface to provide a thermally-conductive pathway therebetween. The interface includes a first layer formed of a flexible, lamellar graphite or tin foil material, and a second layer formed of a thermally-conductive phase-change material.
