Thickness dependent thermal performance of a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) thin film synthesized via an electrochemical approach.

ABSTRACT: Polymer-based thermal interface materials (TIMs) have attracted wide attention in the field of thermal management because of their outstanding properties including light weight, low cost, corrosion resistance and easy processing. However, the low thermal conductivity (∼0.2 W m^-1 K^-1) of the intrinsic polymer matrix largely degrades the overall thermal performance of polymer-based TIMs even those containing highly thermal conductive fillers. Hence, enhancing the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix is one of the most critical problems needed to be solved. This paper studies the thermal conductivity of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films fabricated via cyclic voltammetry. By controlling the number of cycles in the electrochemical synthe
