According to one aspect of the invention, a structure and method for providing
improved thermal conductivity of a thermal interface material (TIM) made of phase
changed polymer matrix and a fusible filler material is disclosed. The TIM may
also have a non-fusible filler material and a percentage of a non-phase change
polymer added to the phase change polymer matrix. The TIM, used to mate and conduct
heat between two or more components, can be highly filled systems in a polymeric
matrix where the fillers are thermally more conductive than the polymer matrix.
