A fusible, phase-change powder composition includes a plurality of powder particles comprising a polymer composition, an unencapsulated phase-change material, and optionally, an additive composition; wherein the powder composition is fusible at a temperature of 25 to 105&#xb0; C., or 28 to 60&#xb0; C., or 45 to 85&#xb0; C., or 60 to 80&#xb0; C., or 80 to 100&#xb0; C.

Fusible phase-change powders for thermal management, methods of manufacture thereof, and articles containing the powders

A compressible thermally conductive sheet comprises a plurality of through holes in a foam material substantially connecting first and second heat transfer surfaces to provide thermal pathways between surfaces. The though holes are filled with a non-foam thermally conductive composition in which thermally-conductive particulate filler is dispersed in a polymeric matrix. Also disclosed is a heat management assembly comprising the compressible thermally conductive sheet.

Compressible thermally conductive articles

A polymer foam layer is disclosed, comprising a polymer foam and a plurality of electrically conductive particles dispersed within the polymer foam, polymer foam layer having an unabraded first surface and an opposite, second surface, wherein the electrically conductive particles essentially continuously span the polymer foam layer, and a portion of the electrically conductive particles are exposed at the first surface of the layer and another portion of the electrically conductive particles are exposed at the second surface. The foams are useful as gaskets for electromagnetic shielding, grounding pads, battery contact conductive spring elements, and the like.
