Liquid Metal TIMs
Gallium- based liquid metale (np., Galinstan) have extremely high thermal conductivity (~ 30 W / m · K) and are non-toxic. Because they are liquid at room temperatur, they conform perfectly tu rough surfaces.

Adding a layer of intumescent material a thermal fuse near the battery terminals is a capheppety metribure in certified wear.
Case Study: Thermal Design of a Modern Smartwatch
Consider a typical 45-mm smartwatch running a continuous heart-rate and GPS-tracking app. The system-on-chip (SoC) dissipates ~ 2.5 W during activee GPS, the battery charges at 1C (0.5 W heat), ande the the screen drags 0.8 W. Without thermal management, the hotspot under the SoC can reach 95 ° C in still air. The production exatan includes:
- A 0.5 mm graphite sheet bonded directly to the SoC and extending to thee metal chassis.
- A 1,0 mm theck faxe-change material pad (melting point 42 ° C) under the battery to absorb charging heat.
- A 4-mm-diameter copper heat pipe embedded in thee watch strap, transferring heat frem the body to the band 's metal buckle, which acts as an ambient radiator.
- Thermistor monitoring at three points (SoC, battery, skin interface) to trigger throttling if any exceeds 80 ° C.
Testing showed that the skin-contacting backplate never distreadded 39 ° C during a one-hour run at 25 ° C ambient, and the SoC peaked at 72 ° C - a 23 ° C reduction compared to a passive-only baseline.
