  • Patent number: 11643554
    Abstract: Composite resin granules 5 contain a binder resin 2 and a thermally conductive filler. The thermally conductive filler includes a non-anisotropic thermally conductive filler 3 and an anisotropic thermally conductive filler 4. The composite resin granules containing the binder resin and the thermally conductive filler are formed into a spherical shape. The particles of the anisotropic thermally conductive filler 4 are oriented in random directions. A thermally conductive rein molded body 6 of the present invention is obtained by compressing the composite resin granules 5. Thus, the present invention provides the thermally conductive resin molded body that has relatively high thermal conductivities in the in-plane direction and the thickness direction, well-balanced directional properties of thermal conduction, and a low specific gravity, the composite resin granules suitable for the thermally conductive resin molded body, and methods for producing them.

  • Patent number: 11450589
    Abstract: A heat conductive sheet of the present invention is a heat conductive sheet containing a curing reaction catalyst, wherein a heat conductive uncured composition 2 not containing a curing reaction catalyst is joined to at least one principal surface of the heat conductive sheet 1 containing a curing reaction catalyst. The heat conductive sheet 1 containing a curing reaction catalyst contains the curing reaction catalyst in an amount necessary to cure the heat conductive uncured composition. A mounting method of the present invention includes: joining a heat conductive uncured composition 2 not containing a curing reaction catalyst to at least one principal surface of the heat conductive sheet 1 containing a curing reaction catalyst, and curing the heat conductive uncured composition by diffusion of the curing reaction catalyst contained in the heat conductive sheet 1.

  • Publication number: 20220169857
    Abstract: A thermally conductive silicone gel composition of the present invention includes the following A to F: (A) an organopolysiloxane having two alkenyl groups per molecule; (B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having two Si—H groups per molecule; (C) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having three or more Si—H groups per molecule; (D) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of D1 and D2: (D1) an organopolysiloxane having one alkenyl group per molecule and (D2) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having one Si—H group per molecule; (E) a platinum catalyst; and (F) a thermally conductive filler in an amount of 100 to 600 vol % with respect to 100 vol % of the total amount of the A to E. The components A to F are cured. With this configuration, the thermally conductive silicone gel composition can reduce oil bleeding, even though the composition is a gel cured product.
