A thermal conducting mixture is provided which is used to make thermal
conducting formulations such as a paste having a high thermal
conductivity and a relatively low viscosity. The paste is used to provide
a thermal conductor connection between an electronic component and a
cooling device to increase the heat transfer rate between the component
and the device cooling the electronic component. The formulation contains
the mixture of thermally conductive particles in various particle size
ranges typically dispersed in a non-aqueous dielectric carrier containing
an antioxidant and a dispersant with the thermally conductive particles
mixture being specially correlated in the mixture by volume % based on
particle size range and by particle size ratio of each particle size
range. The mixture may be used to make other similar products such as
thermal gels, adhesives, slurries and composites, for electronic and
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and like products.
