15. A method comprising:
-
obtaining a molding material that is in a liquid phase; adding microencapsulated thermal energy storage material to the molding material to embed the microencapsulated thermal energy storage material in the molding material; and over-molding electrical components of a computing device with the liquid phase molding material having the embedded thermal storage material, the over-molding to result in a conformal coating to substantially seal the electrical components and form an outer surface once the molding material is cooled or cured to cause the molding material to be in a solid phase. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
