ABSTRACT:
A thermally and electrically conductive caulk having a resin is mixed with a filler mixture which includes 80% by weight large thermally and electrically conductive particles having a particle size within a range of about 300-325 microns, 10% by weight fine thermally and electrically conductive particles having a particle size within a range of about 75-80 microns, and 10% by weight thermally and electrically conductive fibers having a length within a range of about 0.020-0.025 inches. The percentage by weight of filler mixture to resin is optimized such that thermal and electrical conductivity is maximized, while still maintaining desired mechanical properties of the caulk once cured. Preferably, the thermally and electrically conductive particles and fibers are made of carbon. In addition, it is preferred that the large thermally and electrically conductive particles have a particle size of approximately 325 microns, the fine thermally and electrically conductive particles have a particle size of approximately 75 microns, and the thermally and electrically conductive fibers have a length of approximately 0.020 inches. This caulk exhibits a high thermal and electrical conductivity because the differently sized particles result in close packing of the particles in the resinous material making up the remainder of the caulk. Additionally, the thermal and electrical conductivity of the caulk is retained when the caulk is flexed or thermally expanded because of the short fibers employed in the filler material. The carbon fibers maintain contact between particles which have been pulled apart due to the aforementioned flexing or expansion.
