METAL-CONTAINING PARTICLES, PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION, AND USES THEREOF

摘要

There is provided a process for producing metal-containing particles, comprising the steps of forming a reaction mixture comprising (i) a metal salt, and (ii) a reaction medium comprising capping agent; and subjecting the reaction mixture to heat conditions to enable the formation of elemental metal, thereby forming the metal-containing particles. There is also provided a thermally conductive composition comprising a heat transfer medium and the disclosed metal-containing particles, and methods for its preparation.
