One variation of a method for fabricating a dermal heatsink includes: fabricating a substrate defining an interior surface, an exterior surface opposite the interior surface, and an open network of pores extending between the interior surface and the exterior surface; activating surfaces of the substrate and walls of the open network of pores; applying a coating over the substrate to form a heatsink, the coating comprising a porous, hydrophilic material and defining a void network; removing an excess of the coating from the substrate to clear blockages within the open network of pores by the coating; hydrating the heatsink during a curing period; heating the heatsink during the curing period to increase porosity of the coating applied over surfaces of the substrate; and rinsing the heatsink with an acid to decarbonate the coating along walls of the open network of pores in the substrate.

A method and apparatus for heat-dissipation utilizing a fin assembly including one or more fins organized on a wall or base surface. The fins can extend into a flow of fluid passing along the wall or base surface to convectively cool the fins, which can transfer heat from heat-producing components, such as electronics.

Methods and apparatus for processing flexible graphite sheet material involve patterning the material, on at least one major surface, prior to further processing of the material such as densification, lamination, folding or shaping into three-dimensional structures. For densification and lamination, the patterning is selected to facilitate the removal of air from the flexible graphite sheet material during the densification and lamination process. For folding or shaping, the patterning is selected to render the graphite sheet material more flexible. In some embodiments, methods for increasing the through-plane conductivity of flexible graphite sheet material are employed. Integrated heat removal devices include sheets of graphite material that have been selectively patterned in different regions to impart desirable localized properties to the material prior to it being shaped or formed into an integrated heat removal device. Coatings and/or resin impregnation can also be used to impart desirable properties to the material or device.

Provided is a method for producing a heat sink that can easily and effectively form a heat radiating film on the surface of a substrate without requiring enormous heat energy for increasing the temperature of the substrate. The method is a method for producing a heat sink having a substrate and a heat radiating film formed on the surface of the substrate, including a first step of casting a substrate by injecting molten metal into a cavity of molding dies; and a second step of applying a heat radiating coating to the substrate through spraying or dropping in the period from when the molding dies are opened after the casting until when the temperature of the substrate that has been cast becomes lower than the deposition temperature that is a temperature necessary to deposit the heat radiating coating on the substrate.
