Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of thermal management and/or electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation materials including coated fillers (e.g., coated thermally-conductive, electrically-conductive, dielectric absorbing, and/or electromagnetic wave absorbing particles, sand particles coated with a binder, other coated functional fillers, combinations thereof, etc.). For example, a thermal management and/or EMI mitigation material may comprise a thermal interface material (TIM) including one or more coated fillers (e.g., coated thermally-conductive particles, sand particles coated with a binder, etc.), whereby the TIM is suitable for providing a thermal management solution for one or more batteries and/or battery packs (e.g., a battery pack for electric vehicle, etc.), or other device(s), etc.
A thermal management and/or electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation material comprising filler and a coating on the filler, wherein:
A method relating to a material composition including filler and suitable for use as a thermal management and/or EMI mitigation material, the method comprising coating the filler with a coating, wherein the filler comprises one or more of sand particles, thermally-conductive particles, electrically-conductive particles, electromagnetic wave absorbing particles, dielectric absorbing particles, and particles that have two or more properties of being thermally conductive, electrically conductive, dielectric absorbing, and/or electromagnetic wave absorbing, whereby the thermal management and/or EMI mitigation material is granular, has a consistency similar to wet sand, and/or is configured to generally hold a basic shape when formed into the basic shape.
A method relating to thermal management of one or more batteries and/or battery packs, the method comprising positioning a thermal interface material including filler coated with a coating along a surface predesignated for the one or more batteries and/or battery packs, wherein:
