The Relationship of Neuropsychological Functioning with Demographic Characteristics, Brain Imaging Findings, and Health in Elderly Individuals

A composition that can be used to prepare a thermal interface material includes: A) a curable matrix having a curing temperature, B) a metal filler having a low melting point, optionally C) a spacer, and optionally D) a conductive filler. The temperature at which component B) commences softening is less than the curing temperature of component A). A thermal interface material is prepared by: 1) interposing the composition between an electronic component and a heat spreader to form a bondline, 2) heating the composition to a temperature higher than the temperature at which component B) commences softening but less than the curing temperature of component A) and optionally applying pressure to the composition, and 3) heating the composition to a temperature greater than or equal to the curing temperature of component A). The average particle size of component B) is greater than or equal to the bondline thickness.
