Abstract
Thermally-conductive moldable thermoplastic compositions or composites may generally include a plurality of metal-coated filler particles; a plurality of secondary filler particles; and a polymer matrix in admixture with the metal-coated filler particles and the secondary filler particles. The composition or composite may have a thermal conductivity ranging from about 20 Watts per meter-Kelvin to about 35 Watts per meter-Kelvin. Injection molded articles having a moldable thermally-conductive thermoplastic composition or composite can be formed for microelectronics, automotive, avionic, and other heat dissipation applications.
