Patent ID: 7521009

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a thermally conductive drive belt, comprising: providing a base flexible thermoplastic polymer matrix of, by volume, between 30 and 60 percent; providing a first thermally conductive filler having an aspect ratio of at least 10:1 of, by volume, between 30 and 40 percent; providing a second thermally conductive filler having an aspect ratio of less than 5:1 of, by volume, between 10 and 20 percent; mixing the first thermally conductive filler, the second thermally conductive filler and the base polymer matrix to form a moldable composition; injecting the moldable composition into a mold cavity to form a continuous loop thermally conductive drive belt; and uniformly loading the first thermally conductive filler and the second thermally conductive filler throughout the drive belt.
