  Future collider detectors, including silicon tracking detectors planned for
the High Luminosity LHC, will require components and mechanical structures
providing unprecedented strength-to-mass ratios, thermal conductivity, and
radiation tolerance. This paper studies carbon foam used in conjunction with
thermally conductive epoxy and thermally conductive tape for such applications.
Thermal performance and tensile strength measurements of aluminum-carbon
foam-adhesive stacks are reported, along with initial radiation damage test
results.
