How thermally conductive plastics could be a more sustainable and performance-optimised aluminium alternative

Thermal management remains one of the defining engineering challenges across sectors ranging from LED lighting and power electronics to electric vehicles and industrial motors

As power densities rise and packaging volumes shrink, engineers are under pressure to dissipate heat efficiently while also addressing cost, manufacturability and environmental performance. Against this backdrop, thermally conductive plastics are increasingly being evaluated as alternatives to traditional die-cast aluminium solutions.
