Patent ID: 6956739

Claim:
A thermally-conductive interface interposable intermediate a first heat transfer surface and an opposing second heat transfer surface to provide a thermal pathway therebetween, the interface comprising a thermally-conductive compound formed into a first layer which is conformable between the first and second heat transfer surface, the compound comprising an admixture of: (a) a liquid resin constituent comprising one or more monoolefin copolymers, one or more monoolefin terpolymers, or a blend of one or more monoolefin copolymers and one or more monoolefin terpolymers, the resin constituent being liquid at about room temperature; and (b) a particulate filler constituent, wherein the compound has an absolute viscosity of at least about 1,000,000 cps (1.000 Pa-s) at about room temperature, and of between about 10,000-100,000 cps (10-100 Pa-s) over a temperature ranee of between about 125-175° C.
