I am working on interstitial materials to enhance contact conductance. Thermal pastes mixed with highly conducting nanopowder might be a good solution.
You can heat the past to reduce viscosity and add pre synthesized powder then homogenize for several hours
Or
Mix paste in suitable solvent and prepare nanoparticle insitu
First heat the thermal paste to a higher temperature to reduce its viscosity, then add nano particles in the paste and go for mechanical stirring (30min). If you can control the viscosity to a higher time, then after mechanical stirring go for ultrasonic vibration.
I would suggest checking for any volatile substance within the paste which might be harmful. If not then heat it to a lower viscosity, place it in a small beaker and on a magnetic stirrer and then using low RPM add the powder to have a homogenous mixture.
