Abstract
Recent advances in 3D printing technology have enabled the development of new classes of functional materials for various applications. This presentation will focus on 3D printed functional composites for thermal management of electronics and in particular, lighting systems utilizing highly tunable and molecularly cross-linked (solid-solid) plant-based phase change materials (BioPCM). The BioPCM family of products can be engineered to store and release thermal energy at any precise temperature within the range of -75°C to 175°C, enabling maximum energy performance as the material transitions between solid-to-solid phases without a volume change.
