TIM and "thermal grease" same topic?
editI have made several edits to the thermal grease article. I am beginning to think that thermal grease and TIM should be merged with the title being "Thermal interface material". I will look-up the wiki-guidelines for merging articles soon, and follow the formalities, but I wanted to establish a more informal discussion first. --Charles Gaudette 13:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Anon edit of 25-Jan-07
editThe references to "Figure 1" etc. made it clear that this was copied from another source. So I assumed a copyright violation and deleted it. But on second thoughts: the occasional bad English, and the fact that I can't find the text using Google, may indicate that the anon editor was acually using his/her own research paper, which would then be acceptable for Wikipedia. So if the anon editor can indicate his/her source, maybe the text can be reformatted and re-added after all. Rocksong 04:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Thermal Interface Materials
editThermal greases are definitely a type of thermal interface material (TIM), and I believe that Thermal Grease should be integrated with this topic.
Further, TIMs and Heat Sinks are subsets of the category of Thermal Management of Microelectronics and Optoelectronics.
