Rogers Launches HeatSORB Thermal Management Material

Reading time ( words)

Rogers Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of HeatSORB, a proprietary phase change material that addresses thermal management challenges in portable electronics. HeatSORB is a unique material capable of consistently absorbing large amounts of heat within a very specific temperature window.

Electronic components generate heat during the course of operation, raising the temperature of the device. HeatSORB captures that heat, allowing the device to remain cool in the user’s hand. This mechanism delays CPU temperature ramp and overall device temperature rise, resulting in improved user comfort and device efficiency. When the device is not in use, HeatSORB releases the thermal energy and regains its ability to absorb heat in the next cycle.

HeatSORB leverages an immobilized compound which requires a large amount of enthalpy to transition from one physical state to another. During that process, the material absorbs heat while preventing that heat from leaching into the electronics. The formulation is also designed for reliability, meaning HeatSORB remains effective throughout the life of the device, making overheating a thing of the past.

It’s almost as if upheaval is the new normal. We often describe slow-moving but unstoppable change as moving in “geologic time.” But occasionally–like an earthquake–geology shifts suddenly. Here in my office, tracking the news of the industry, things are moving faster than geologic time, but more slowly than the jolt of an earthquake. The wave seems almost surfable, where before it seemed overwhelming. In this week’s list, we bring news from five different, high-vibration areas in our industry. If you read nothing else this week, these five items will keep you informed.
