Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a thermally conductive article having an integrated thermally conductive surface. The method involves molding a first thermally conductive composition to form a body of the article and then molding a second thermally conductive composition to form an integrated surface on the body of the article. The integrated thermally conductive surface can interface with a heat-generating device (e.g., an electronic part) to dissipate heat from the device. The invention also encompasses thermally conductive articles produced by this method.
