I have been searching the net, about this thing, and i have come to know that this thing is basically a kind of filler, which is meant for eliminating invisible air gaps, and hence improving the thermal conductivity between the heat source and the heat sink.
But when i came to hear about this thing for the first time, my very first impression regarding this thing was that it was a kind of substance, which when applied on a small area on a surface of a metal plate(for example), then this thing absorbs all the heat which is conducted via that plate, and the entire heat energy is concentrated on that area over which the compound is applied.
is this true ?
