Satellite electronics rely on effective heat transfer across component interfaces. Material conductivity matters, but so does the quality of the thermal contact between surfaces. In our Space Tech Expo Europe 2025 interview, Andreas Brunsgaard Laursen, founder and CEO of Danish Graphene, introduces graphene-enhanced thermal adhesives designed to combine heat transfer with mechanical bonding.
Danish Graphene produces its graphene materials using a proprietary manufacturing process and helps customers integrate them into practical applications. For thermal management, the company has developed its GET AE range. Laursen introduces GET AE 100, GET AE 200 and GET AE 300 in the interview, addressing different application, viscosity and thermal-contact requirements.
The engineering challenge is to establish an effective heat path between an electronic component and the surrounding cooling structure. Air gaps and poorly matched interfaces can increase thermal resistance. A suitable thermal adhesive can fill these interfaces while providing a mechanical bond. The resulting performance depends on bond-line thickness, contact geometry, curing conditions and the complete thermal path, not on a material headline value alone.
A published Danish Graphene case study describes the use of a thermal adhesive in a TRL Space LiDAR laser demonstrator. Material selection considered thermal conductivity, cleanliness requirements, ease of application and room-temperature curing. This is a documented development and integration example, not a blanket claim that every GET AE product has achieved space qualification or flight heritage.
For a specific spacecraft application, engineering teams should check the applicable technical data sheet alongside outgassing, thermal cycling, mechanical and electrical properties, and process compatibility.
Danish Graphene will exhibit independently at Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, 17–19 November 2026, in Hall 5, Booth Q22. Visit the team to discuss graphene-enhanced materials and thermal interface solutions.
Our extended team from MSA Components and Hi-Rel Solutions by Steliau Technology will separately be available in Hall 5, Booth F11 for technical discussions about high-reliability electronics and your space projects.
