Abstract:
The heat resistant layer of aluminium phosphate (AlPO
4) was prepared on the surface of polyethersulphone (PES) matrix using the high temperature calcination molding process. The microstructure, chemical component and thermal stability of AlPO
4-PES layered composites were characterized by techniques of SEM, confocal laser scanning microscopy-three dimensional morphology analysis (CLSM-3D), FTIR and TGA. The influence of AlPO
4 content on the thermal conductivity and dielectric property of AlPO
4-PES layered composites was investigated. The results show that the incorporation of AlPO
4 leads to significant changes on the microscopic structure of PES matrix. And heat resistant layer of AlPO
4 and PES matrix are combined together via physical way. The thermal stability of AlPO
4-PES layered composites is obviously enhanced with increasing the AlPO
4 content, while the thermal conductivity of composites is decreased continuously. As the AlPO
4 content increases, both the dielectric constant and dielectric dissipation of AlPO
4-PES layered composites are reduced, and they exhibit excellent frequency stability in the test range of 0.1-5 MHz.
