Compositions containing thermally conductive fillers

Abstract

Disclosed is a composition comprising a molecule comprising an electrophilic functional group, optionally a second molecule comprising a nucleophilic functional group, and a thermally conductive filler package. The filler package may comprise thermally conductive, electrically insulative filler particles that may have a thermal conductivity of at least 5 W/m·K (measured according to ASTM D7984) and a volume resistivity of at least 10 Ω·m (measured according to ASTM D257, C611, or B193) and that may be present in an amount of at least 50% by volume based on total volume of the filler package. The thermally conductive filler package may be present in an amount of at least 10% by volume percent based on total volume of the composition. The present invention also is directed to a method for treating a substrate and to substrates comprising a layer formed from a compositions disclosed herein.
