Provided is a novel mold release film having excellent light peelability that is easily peeled off from a silicone adhesive layer and capable of reducing the amount of fluorinated silicone used, the mold release film comprising a mold release layer formed by curing a mold release layer composition comprising a (A) curable silicone having a fluorine substituent, a (B) curable silicone having no fluorine substituent, and a (D) curing catalyst, on at least one surface of a substrate film, wherein in a concentration distribution of fluorine atoms in the thickness direction within the mold release layer, fluorine atoms are unevenly distributed on the surface of the mold release layer.

A thermally conductive composition contains a base polymer, an adhesive polymer, and thermally conductive particles. A thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive composition is 0.3 W/m.Math.K or more. The thermally conductive particles include inorganic particles (a) with a specific surface area of 1 m.sup.2/g or less. The inorganic particles (a) are coated with the adhesive polymer. The production method includes a first mixing process of mixing the adhesive polymer and the inorganic particles (a) with a specific surface area of 1 m.sup.2/g or less so that the inorganic particles (a) are coated with the adhesive polymer, a second mixing process of adding and mixing the base polymer; and a curing process. Thus, the present invention provides a thermally conductive composition that has high thermal conductive properties, a high compression repulsive force, and less interfacial debonding resulting from stress, and a method for producing the thermally conductive composition.
