Thermal backfill composition method

摘要

A thermally conductive composition comprises an essentially homogeneous mixture of sand or sand-like particulate material with a binder, wherein the binder comprises an organic adhesive having an inorganic fine particle filler therein. The binder is present in at least an amount sufficient to begin to form a binder meniscus between adjacent sand particles, while the filler is present in the binder in an amount which significantly increases the effective thermal conductivity of the composition as compared to the same composition without filler.
