3M used to have  a thermally conductive adhesive transfer tape.  I believe
it was Scotch(TM) brand 9882.  A contact from 3 - 4 years ago was Dr.
Stanley Tead at (612) 737-4565.

Adhesives Research was another vendor.  I think they were in Pennsylvania. 
My contact there was William Stratton (717) 235-7979.  Once again, this was
3 - 4 years ago.

Hope this helps.

I am looking for alternate bonding films/sheet adhesive systems for
bonding a PCB to a heatsink.  The adhesive system has to be thermally
conductive, electrically insulating, and capable of "decoupling" the CTE
mismatch between the PCB and heatsink .

We currently are using Arlon's Thermabond(TM) and laminate after
assembly.

Are there any recommendations for alternates?
