Abstract
A method of providing a thermally conductive connection between spaced surfaces includes (a) mixing a thermally conductive filler containing a liquid metal into an unhardened matrix material, and (b) contacting the unhardened matrix material and randomly dispersed, separate spaced non-solidified regions of filler within the unhardened matrix material to the surfaces. A solid mechanical bond may be provided by hardening the matrix material or by providing a separate adhesive between the surfaces. Preferably, the regions of filler form separate spaced continuous thermally and electrically conductive paths between the surfaces.
