  • Patent number: 11085712
    Abstract: To provide a heat-dissipating sheet having good close-contact properties with an adherend such as a heat-generating body and being easy to handle. A heat-dissipating sheet includes a heat-dissipating member including a graphite sheet, a first thermally conductive layer, and a second thermally conductive layer stacked in this order. The first thermally conductive layer contains a thermally conductive filler dispersed in a polymer matrix and has an outer shape larger than the graphite sheet when viewed in plan. The second thermally conductive layer contains a thermally conductive filler dispersed in a polymer matrix, is more flexible than the first thermally conductive layer, and has an outer shape identical to or smaller than the first thermally conductive layer when viewed in plan.

  • Patent number: 10985416
    Abstract: Provided is a thermal conduction sheet that is easily attached from one face to the other face of a battery cell, the faces being perpendicular to each other. Thermal conduction sheet includes graphite sheet, and insulating sheets between and with which graphite sheet is entirely sandwiched and sealed. Graphite sheet has a plurality of cut-out portions arranged linearly. Thermal conduction sheet is bent at a region where cut-out portions are formed. Thus, thermal conduction sheet is attached from one face to the other face of a battery cell, the faces being perpendicular to each other.
