In yet another aspect, the disclosure relates to the use of a thermally-conductive curable composition for industrial applications, in particular for thermal management applications in the automotive industry.

Abstract: A thermally conductive sheet precursor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes agglomerates in which anisotropic thermally conductive primary particles are agglomerated, an isotropic thermally conductive material different from the agglomerates and having an average particle diameter of about 20 ?m or greater, and a binder resin. When a first pressure in a range from about 0.75 to about 12 MPa is applied to the thermally conductive sheet precursor, at least some the agglomerates disintegrate.

Abstract: Problem: To provide a thermally conductive sheet precursor exhibiting excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric breakdown resistance, a thermally conductive sheet obtained from the precursor, and a production method thereof. Solution: The thermally conductive sheet precursor according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes isotropic thermally conductive aggregates in which anisotropic thermally conductive primary particles are aggregated, an anisotropic thermally conductive material not constituted by the aggregates, and a binder resin; wherein upon the application of a pressure from 3 to 12 MPa to the thermally conductive sheet precursor, at least some of the isotropic thermally conductive aggregates collapse.
