The silicone rubber with good thermal conductivity and electrical insulation was obtained by taking vinyl endblocked polymethylsiloxane as basic gum and thermally conductive, but electrically insulating hybrid Al2O3 powder as fillers. The effects of the amount of Al2O3 on the thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), heat stability, and mechanical properties of the silicone rubber were investigated, and it was found that the thermal conductivity and heat stability increased, but the CTE decreased with increasing Al2O3 fillers content. The silicone rubber filled with hybrid Al2O3 fillers exhibited higher thermal conductivity compared with that filled with single particle size. Furthermore, a new type of thermally conductive silicone rubber composites, possessing thermal conductivity of 0.92 W/mK, good electrical insulation, and mechanical properties, was developed using electrical glass cloth as reinforcement.
