Abstract
Abstract The combination of known thermally conductive fillers having an average particle size of from about 10 to about 100 microns with aluminum nitride having an average particle size of less than one micron improves the thermal conductivity of organosiloxane compositions. The thermal conductivity values achieved using this combination of fillers is higher than can be achieved using the maximum loading of either filler alone that can be present without adversely affecting the ability of the organosiloxane composition to cure or to serve as useful coatings and encapsulates for electronic solid state devices and other substrates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
In an organosiloxane composition comprising a polyorganosiloxane and a finely divided solid thermally conductive filler, the improvement comprising the presence in said composition of a mixture of thermally conductive fillers comprising (1) from 20 to 60 weight percent, based on the weight of said mixture, of a first filler consisting essentially of aluminum nitride having an average particle size no larger than one micron and (2) at least one additional thermally conductive filler having an average particle size of from 10 to 100 microns. where said mixture constitutes from 40 to 85 percent of the total weight of said composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
In an organosiloxane composition comprising a polyorganosiloxane and a finely divided solid thermally conductive filler, the improvement comprising the presence in said composition of a mixture of thermally conductive fillers comprising (1) from 20 to 60 weight percent, based on the weight of said mixture, of a first filler consisting essentially of aluminum nitride having an average particle size no larger than one micron and (2) at least one additional thermally conductive filler having an average particle size of from 10 to 100 microns. where said mixture constitutes from 40 to 85 percent of the total weight of said composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
An organosiloxane composition according to claim 1 where said additional thermally conductive filler comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of powdered silicon metal, boron nitride or aluminum nitride, said first filler constitutes from 20 to 50 weight percent of the total thermally conductive filler, the mixture of thermally conductive fillers constitutes from 60 to 85 weight percent of said composition, and said polyorganosiloxane is an uncured liquid material or a liquid material that has been cured by an addition, condensation or free radical reaction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
An organosiloxane composition according to claim 2 where said polyorganosiloxane is an uncured liquid having a viscosity of less than 100 Pa.s at 25° C., the silicon-bonded organic groups of said polyorganosiloxane are methyl or 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl and the combined thermally conductive fillers constitute at least 75 weight percent of said composition.
