摘要: 为在较低的导热填料含量下提高环氧树脂(EP)的热导率,通过溶液法制备了石墨烯纳米片/(酚酞聚芳醚酮-EP) (GNP/(PEK-C-EP))复合材料。基于接触角测量计算并预测了GNP的选择性分布,并通过SEM和激光闪光法研究了GNP和PEK-C含量对GNP/(PEK-C-EP)复合材料的微观结构和热导率的影响。结果表明,当PEK-C的含量为20wt%时,GNP选择性分布在PEK-C中,形成了双逾渗结构的GNP/(PEK-C-EP)复合材料,从而构建了连续导热通道。当GNP含量为1wt%时,GNP/EP复合材料导热率最高达0.375 W(m·K)−1。当GNP含量为0.5wt%时,GNP/(PEK-C-EP)复合材料导热率最高达0.371 W(m·K)−1,较GNP含量为0.5wt%的GNP/EP复合材料热导率高48%,与GNP含量为1wt%的GNP/EP复合材料的热导率基本相同。表明GNP/(PEK-C-EP)复合材料的填料量减少了50%,利用双逾渗效应可以有效减少导热填料用量。此外,比较了纯EP和GNP/(PEK-C-EP)复合材料的玻璃化转变温度、热稳定性和热膨胀系数,结果表明,GNP/(PEK-C-EP)复合材料的热性能优于纯EP。Abstract: To improve the thermal conductivity of epoxy (EP) with a lower thermally conductive filler content, graphene nanoplates/(polyetherketone cardo-EP) (GNP/(PEK-C-EP)) composites were prepared by the solution method. The selective distribution of GNP was predicted by calculation based on contact angle measurements, and the effects of GNP and PEK-C contents on the microstructures and thermal conductivities of GNP/(PEK-C-EP) composites were investigated by SEM and laser flash method. The results show that double percolation structures are formed in GNP/(PEK-C-EP) composites as the content of PEK-C reaches 20wt%, where GNPs are selectively distributed in PEK-C to build continuous heat conduction paths. For GNP/EP composites, it reaches the highest thermal conductivity of 0.375 W(m·K)−1 at 1wt% GNP. While for GNP/(PEK-C-EP) composites, the content of 0.5wt% GNP reaches highest thermal conductivity of 0.371 W(m·K)−1, which is 48% higher than that of GNP/EP composites at 0.5wt% GNP content and basically the same as that of GNP/EP composites at 1wt% GNP. It indicates that the filler content of GNP/(PEK-C-EP) composites is reduced by 50% owing to the double percolation effect. In addition, the glass transition temperatures, thermal stability and coefficients of thermal expansion of pure EP and GNP/(PEK-C-EP) composites were compared. The results show that the GNP/(PEK-C-EP) composites are superior to pure EP in thermal properties.
