Abstract
The present invention provides a continuous high thermal conductivity organic-inorganic composite material. The composite material features high thermal conductivity materials bonded to a host resin matrix by covalent linkages. The bonding takes place through surface functional groups that are reactively grafted to the high thermal conductivity material. These surface functional groups react with the host resin matrix, forming the covalent linkages. The structure of the composite material is effective to reduce phonon scattering and increase phonon transport in the composite material.
