Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of thermal conductive composite materials, and specifically relates to an interface effect enhanced liquid crystal polyester, a high thermal conductive liquid crystal polyester composite material, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the miniaturization of devices and the increasing density, thermal management has become one of the core challenges facing modern electronic products. Especially for flexible electronic products, the demand for efficient heat dissipation has led to the rapid development of research on thermally conductive polymers. Liquid crystal polymers, due to their unique oriented arrangement structure, can effectively reduce phonon scattering, thereby significantly improving the thermal conductivity of polymers. At present, research on intrinsically thermally conductive thermoplastics mainly focuses on enhancing the intermolecular interactions between polymer chains. Carbon-based materials are widely used in the preparation of thermally conductive composite materials due to their excellent thermal conductivity, light weight and excellent processing and forming properties. In particular, graphene, due to its excellent thermal conductivity and light weight, meets the requirements of modern electronic devices for thin and short heat dissipation solutions. However, the compatibility problem of the composite interface significantly limits the further improvement of thermal conductivity. At present, the literature reports often use dispersants, surface oxidation modification, graft modification and multiple fillers to improve the dispersion and interfacial action of graphene in epoxy resin, such as CN115772328B uses multiple fillers such as polydopamine and liquid metal to improve the dispersibility of graphene in cyanate, CN118471402A carries out hydroxyl grafting on the graphene surface, and CN118496538A uses strong oxidants such as nitric acid to oxidize graphite to obtain partial oxidation of graphene, which promotes its interaction with polyimide. The above methods have the problems of poor solvent dispersibility, large toxic and side effects of dispersants, poor interfacial interaction between graphene and polymer after dispersion, and complex methods. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a graphene / liquid crystal polyester composite material that can enhance the interfacial interaction force of graphene in liquid crystal polyester and improve thermal conductivity.
