Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermally conductive materials technology, specifically to a thermally conductive TPU film. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, microelectronic integration and assembly technologies have developed rapidly, with electronic devices and components becoming increasingly miniaturized and multifunctional. Their operating frequencies have increased dramatically, leading to a rapid accumulation of heat and a continuous rise in ambient temperature. If this accumulated heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will significantly affect the reliability of the equipment and components, shortening their lifespan. Therefore, ensuring stable and efficient operation of equipment and components, timely heat dissipation has become a pressing issue in the field of microelectronic packaging. Currently, the common approach is to use thermally conductive materials with high thermal conductivity to dissipate heat promptly, thereby ensuring the normal operation of instruments and equipment.

[0003] TPU, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber, is a new type of organic polymer synthetic material that can replace rubber or soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. Its excellent wear resistance and resilience are superior to ordinary polyurethane, and its aging resistance is better than rubber. It can be said that TPU is the most ideal material to replace PVC and PU, and is internationally recognized as a new type of polymer material. Its molecular structure consists of alternating rigid blocks obtained from the reaction of diisocyanate and chain extenders, and flexible segments obtained from the reaction of diisocyanate and macromolecular polyols. TPU possesses excellent high tensile strength, high tear strength, toughness, and aging resistance, and has been widely used in medical and health, electronic and electrical appliances, and sporting goods.

[0004] TPU has a lower thermal conductivity than other synthetic and natural insulation materials, and is widely used in the field of insulation materials. However, for applications with high requirements for heat transfer performance, TPU must be modified to obtain high thermal conductivity. For example, Chinese patent document CN201810829286.2 discloses a method for preparing a high thermal conductivity modified TPU film. By using solution polymerization, a modified graphene oxide solution and a catalyst are added to the TPU raw material to obtain a high thermal conductivity modified TPU film. Although the addition of modified graphene oxide improves the thermal conductivity of TPU to a certain extent, it still cannot meet the actual application requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

At the same time, the prepared thermally conductive TPU film has good mechanical properties and thermal conductivity, and has broad economic and social benefits.

[0023] (2) In this invention, hexagonal boron nitride powder is first added to sodium hydroxide solution for pretreatment. Then, polyethyleneimine is grafted onto the surface of boron nitride. By introducing amino groups, the adsorption sites on the surface of boron nitride are increased, which is beneficial for the subsequent adsorption of copper ions. Then, copper ions are reduced by hydrazine hydrate to form copper nanoparticles on the surface and between the layers of hexagonal boron nitride, forming a thermally conductive pathway and further improving the thermal conductivity of hexagonal boron nitride. Then, copper-loaded boron nitride is immersed in 2-mercaptobenzimidazole solution. The lone pair electrons of heteroatoms such as N and S in 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and the large π bond of the benzene ring can form coordinate bonds with copper atoms to form an organic film on the copper surface, which improves the bonding force between copper-loaded boron nitride and TPU. At the same time, the mercapto groups in 2-mercaptobenzimidazole can react with the double bonds in vinyltriethoxysilane, which enhances the bonding force between the thermally conductive layer and the intermediate layer, thereby improving the overall mechanical properties of the thermally conductive TPU film.
