Description

<p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in">In this SBIR project, we will develop a passive thermal management system for microelectronics that are integrated into space suits, gloves, and other soft goods. &nbsp;The system will be composed of a thermally conductive rubber that is molded around the heat-producing components.&nbsp; In order to enable mechanical deformation, the microelectronic components will be wired together with soft and stretchable circuitry.&nbsp; In general, the circuit wiring can be any soft conductor that maintains low electrical resistivity when stretched.&nbsp; For the purposes of this project, we will use wiring composed of a non-toxic, biocompatible eutectic alloy of gallium and indium.</p><p style="margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in">&nbsp;</p>
