Abstract

A thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet includes a thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet and a thermosoftening silicone resin layer with a thickness of 0.5 to 10 μm on one side of the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet, the thermosoftening silicone resin layer having an viscosity at 70° C. of 700 Pa·s or lower, where the thermosoftening silicone resin layer has adhesion of 0.5 N/25 mm or higher at a normal temperature and the thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet has a thermal resistance lower than a value obtained by adding 0.3 cm2·K/W per one layer of one side of the thermosoftening silicone resin layer to a thermal resistance of the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet. A thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet provided with an adhesive layer on one side of a thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet, makes it possible to impart adhesion without sacrificing thermal conductivity.

Claims (11)

1 . A thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet comprising a thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet and a thermosoftening silicone resin layer provided with a thickness of 0.5 to 10 μm on at least one side of the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet, the thermosoftening silicone resin layer having an absolute viscosity at 70° C. of 700 Pa·s or lower, wherein

the thermosoftening silicone resin layer has adhesion of 0.5 N/25 mm or higher at a normal temperature and contains no heat conductive filler, and

the thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet has a thermal resistance that is lower than a value obtained by adding 0.3 cm 2 ·K/W per one layer of one side of the thermosoftening silicone resin layer provided on at least one side of the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet to a thermal resistance of the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet wherein the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet has a silicone rubber component comprising a dimethylsiloxane unit, and the thermosoftening silicone resin layer has a phenyl modification rate of greater than 20 mol %.

2 . The thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1 , wherein after keeping the thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet in storage in an environment of 60° C. for two months, the thermosoftening silicone resin layer has adhesion of 70% or more of the adhesion before the storage.

3 . The thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 2 , wherein the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet comprises a glass cloth and/or a plastic film.

4 . The thermal conductive composite silicone rubber sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal conductive silicone rubber sheet comprises a glass cloth and/or a plastic film.
