Heat conductive silicone composition

1. A composition comprising:

(A) a silicone oil, and

(B) a heat conductive filler,

with the provisos that component (A) is selected from the group consisting of silicone oils described by a general formula (A 1 ); silicone oils described by a general formula (A 3 ); mixtures of formulae (A 1 ) and (A 3 ); and hydrosilylation reaction mixtures of formula (A 1 ) and formula (A 3 ), where formula (A 1 ) is [R 1 a R 2 (3−a) SiO(R 1 b R 2 (2−b) SiO) m (R 2 2 SiO) n ] c SiR 2 [4−(c+d)] (OR 3 ) d , and formula (A 3 ) is [H e R 2 (3−e) SiO(R 2 2 SiO) n ] e SiR 2 [4−(e+d)] (OR 3 ) d where

all instances of R 1 are identical or different monovalent hydrocarbon groups with aliphatically unsaturated bonds,

all instances of R 2 are identical or different monovalent hydrocarbon groups that do not have aliphatically unsaturated bonds,

R 3 stands for alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkenyl, or acyl,

“a” is an integer of 0 to 3,

“b” is 1 or 2,

“c” is an integer of 1 to 3,

“d” is an integer of 1 to 3,

“c+d” is an integer of 2 to 4,

“m” is an integer of 0 or greater,

“n” is an integer of 15 to 100,

with the proviso that “m” is 1 or greater when “a” is 0, and

“e”is an integer of 1 to 3, and

component (B) is surface treated with component (A), and where a content of component (B) is 500 to 3,500 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of component (A).

2. The composition of claim 1 , where component (B) is an alumina powder.

3. The composition of claim 1 , where component (B) is selected from component (B 1 ) or component (B 2 ), where

(B 1 ) is a quasi-spherical alumina powder with an average particle size of 0.1 to 20 μm;

(B 2 ) is a mixture of (B 21 ) and (B 22 ), where

(B 21 ) is a quasi-spherical alumina powder with an average particle size of greater than 5 to 50 μm, and

(B 22 ) is a quasi-spherical or irregular-shaped alumina powder with an average particle size of 0.1 to 5 μm.

4. The composition of claim 3 , where component (B 2 ) is 30 to 90 wt% of component (B 21 ) and 10 to 70 wt% of component (B 22 ).

5. The composition of claim 1 , where component (A) is a silicone oil selected from the group consisting of formula (A 1 )and formula (A 3 ), and the composition further comprises (C) a component increasing the viscosity of component (A) via a hydrosilylation reaction, with the proviso that component (C) does not contain silicone oils corresponding to component (A).
