General hypotheses of heat sinks

The higher the thermal conductivity of the heat
sink material, the greater the heat transfer

Thermally conductive plastics (2 10 W/mK)
cannot substitute aluminum (100 W/mK)

Summary of modeling results

Where convection is limited, the
heat sink is not the bottleneck in
heat transfer

Heat transfer by 5 W/mK thermally
conductive plastics only ~8% less
than aluminum with the same heat
sink design
Thermally conductive plastics can be effective for
thermal management in convection limited cases..

Internal assembly differences may affect heat sink operating temperatures

By adding just 1 fin, BN-filled plastics can be even more effective
than aluminum at transferring heat. .
