Method of preparing thermally conductive compounds by liquid metal bridged particle clusters

摘要

A thermally conductive mechanically compliant pad including a quantity of gallium and/or indium alloy liquid at temperatures below about 120 DEG C and a boron nitride particulate solid blended into the liquid metal alloy to form a paste. The paste is then combined with a quantity of a flowable plastic resin such as silicone oil to form the mechanically compliant pad, the compliant pad comprising from between about 10% and 90% of metallic coated particulate, balance flowable plastic resin.
