A thermally conductive polymer composition, comprising a polymer, conductive charges in an amount of about 35% by weight or less, and a compatibilizer, the composition having a transverse thermal conductivity of about 0.5 W/m/K or more and a deformation at break of about 850% or less The composition is fabricated by i) feeding a polymer and a compatibilizer in a feed zone of an extruder to obtain a melted resin; ii) introducing directly into the extruder downstream of the feed zone, conductive charges in an amount of about 35% by weight or less into the melted resin; and iii) providing a degassing zone before the output of the thermally conductive polymer composition produced. |
