MICROSTRUCTURAL SURFACE INCORPORATION OF PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026560 titled 'MICROSTRUCTURAL SURFACE INCORPORATION OF PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS FOR THERMAL MANAGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a process for protecting an article from thermal damage. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • Anodizing a metallic surface of the article to create a layer of metal oxide.
  • Annealing the anodic layer to enhance its properties.
  • Introducing a phase change material into the pores formed by the anodic layer.
  • Applying a seal layer to seal the phase change material within the pores.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Protection of electronic components from thermal damage.
  • Thermal management in aerospace and automotive industries.
  • Heat dissipation in power electronics.
  • Thermal insulation in buildings and infrastructure.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Preventing thermal damage to sensitive components.
  • Enhancing heat dissipation and thermal management.
  • Improving the efficiency and reliability of electronic devices.
  • Reducing the risk of overheating and system failures.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased lifespan and reliability of electronic devices.
  • Improved thermal performance and efficiency.
  • Enhanced safety by preventing thermal damage.
  • Cost-effective solution for thermal management.


Original Abstract Submitted

a process for protecting an article from thermal damage includes anodizing a metallic surface of the article to form an anodic layer containing a metal oxide; annealing the anodic layer; introducing a phase change material to pores defined by the anodic layer; and applying a seal layer to seal the phase change material within the pores.
