Zusammenfassung:	A flexible thermally-conductive epoxy-based adhesive composition and method for making the same are provided. The present adhesive composition comprises (a) a polymer mixture comprising at least one polyepoxide resin having a hardness not exceeding a durometer Shore D reading of about 45, when cured with a stoichiometric amount of diethylene triamine ("DETA"), and a substantially stoichiometric amount of at least one latent epoxy resin curing agent; and (b) a thermally-conductive filler. Optional components include secondary epoxy resins, non-reactive flexibilizers, diluents, and processing aids. The present adhesive composition is rheologically stable for weeks or even months at room temperature and is curable in less than one hour at a temperature ranging from about 100 DEG C to 140 DEG C, whereupon the cured adhesive composition exhibits a durometer Shore A of less than about 90 and a thermal conductivity exceeding 0.4 BTU/hr-ft- DEG F (0.7 W/m-K).
