A component assembly includes a core including a main body having a first surface and a second surface opposite from the first surface. One or more recessed cells are formed in each of the first surface and the second surface of the main body. The one or more recessed cells formed in the first surface extend toward the second surface. The one or more recessed cells formed in the second surface extend toward the first surface. A first layer is secured to the core at a first adhesive layer. A second layer is secured to the core at a second adhesive layer.

A thermal interface material (TIM) includes a modified release layer having an organosilane-coated surface covalently bound to a TIM formulation layer. The modified release layer may be formed by applying an organosilane (e.g., vinyltriethoxysilane) to the surface of a thermally conductive release layer (e.g., aluminum foil). The organosilane reacts with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the thermally conductive release layer. The TIM formulation layer may be formed by applying a TIM formulation (e.g., a graphite TIM formulation) containing an unsaturated monomer (e.g., methyl acrylate) to the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer, and then curing the TIM formulation so that the unsaturated monomer of the TIM formulation reacts with the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer.
