Abstract

A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition, which comprises epoxy resin in a liquid state at room temperature, a latent curing agent, a highly heat-conductive filler, and a non-ionic surfactant, where preferably the latent curing agent is mixed with a portion of the epoxy resin in a liquid state at room temperature to form a master batch, can keep a relatively low viscosity, even if a large amount of the filler is contained, and can be cured at a relatively low temperature for a short time, and has a distinguished storage stability as one-component composition.

Claims (8)

1. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition, which comprises an epoxy resin in a liquid state at room temperature, an adduct of amine with an epoxy compound as a latent curing agent, a highly heat-conductive filler having a heat conductivity of 0.5 W/m·K or more, and a polyoxyethylene lauryl ether surfactant.

2. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the latent curing agent is a hydrolysis type latent curing agent, a thermally latent curing agent, or a photo-curing initiator.

3. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 2 , which comprises 100 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 0.5-2 equivalent weights of a hydrolysis type latent curing agent as the latent curing agent in terms of curing groups generated by hydrolysis of the curing agent on the basis of the epoxide groups of the epoxy resin, or 0.1-35 parts by weight of a thermally latent curing agent as the latent curing agent, or 0.01-5 parts by weight of a photo-curing initiator as the latent curing agent, 300-1,300 parts by weight of the highly heat-conductive filler, and 1-50 parts by weight of the polyoxyethylene lauryl ether surfactant.

4. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the latent curing agent is used as a master batch together with the epoxy resin in a liquid state at room temperature.

5. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , wherein the highly heat-conductive filler is Al 2 O 3 , MgO, BN, AlN, Al(OH) 3 , Mg(OH) 2 or a mixture thereof.

6. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , for use as a coating agent.

7. A highly heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 , for use as an adhesive.

8. Highly heat-radiatable articles produced by curing a highly-heat-conductive epoxy resin composition according to claim 1 .
