Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum-plastic panels, and in particular to an aluminum-plastic panel with high heat dissipation and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum-plastic composite panels (APCPs), due to their lightweight, aesthetically pleasing design, and ease of processing, are widely used in architectural curtain walls, interior decoration, and other fields. Traditional ACPs typically consist of two aluminum sheets, top and bottom, bonded to a plastic core layer using an adhesive. However, the low thermal conductivity of the plastic core (typically in the range of 0.1-0.5 W / (m·K)) results in poor overall heat dissipation performance. In some applications requiring rapid heat dissipation, such as electronic device housings and LED lighting heat sinks, conventional ACPs struggle to meet these requirements, limiting their further application. To improve the thermal conductivity of ACPs, existing technologies primarily employ the following approaches: 1. Adding highly thermally conductive fillers, such as metal powder, graphite, and carbon nanotubes, to the plastic core layer. However, high filler loadings can degrade the mechanical properties of the plastic core layer, and uneven filler dispersion can lead to agglomeration, impairing thermal conductivity. 2. Using metal mesh or metal foil as a composite with the plastic core layer increases the complexity and cost of the manufacturing process. 3. A heat dissipation coating is applied on the surface of the aluminum-plastic panel, but the coating is easy to wear and fall off, and its long-term stability is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose an aluminum-plastic panel with high heat dissipation and a preparation method thereof.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an aluminum-plastic panel with high heat dissipation performance, comprising an upper aluminum alloy layer, an intermediate heat-conducting composite layer, and a lower aluminum alloy layer stacked in sequence; the intermediate heat-conducting composite layer is made of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of polymer resin matrix; 30-80 parts of flaky graphite powder; 20-50 parts of spherical alumina; 5-20 parts of carbon fiber; 1-5 parts of coupling agent; 1-3 parts of dispersant; 5-15 parts of plasticizer; 5-10 parts of flame retardant.

[0005] Furthermore, the polymer resin matrix is ​​one of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride.

[0006] Furthermore, the particle size of the flaky graphite powder is 5-50 μm, and the purity is ≥98%; the particle size of the spherical alumina is 1-10 μm, and the purity is ≥99%; the length of the carbon fiber is 0.1-5 mm, and the diameter is 5-15 μm.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the upper aluminum alloy layer and the lower aluminum alloy layer is 0.1-1.0 mm, preferably 0.3-0.7 mm; the thickness of the intermediate heat-conducting composite layer is 1-5 mm, preferably 2-4 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, a micro-nano structure layer is provided on the surface of the upper aluminum alloy layer and the lower aluminum alloy layer. The micro-nano structure layer is formed by an anodic oxidation process, and the surface roughness Ra thereof is 0.5-5 μm.

[0009] A method for preparing an aluminum-plastic panel with high heat dissipation, comprising: step S1: performing surface treatment on an aluminum alloy plate, and then forming a micro-nanostructure layer on the surface of the plate by an anodic oxidation process; S2: Melting the polymer resin matrix at 120-180° C., adding flake graphite powder, spherical alumina, carbon fiber, coupling agent, dispersant, plasticizer, and flame retardant in sequence, and stirring in a high-speed blender at a speed of 1000-3000 rpm for 20-60 minutes to obtain a thermally conductive composite layer raw material; S3: placing the pretreated upper aluminum alloy plate, the thermal conductive composite layer raw material, and the lower aluminum alloy plate into a laminator in sequence, pressing them at a temperature of 150-220°C and a pressure of 5-20 MPa for 10-30 minutes, and demolding them after cooling to obtain a high thermal conductive aluminum-plastic composite plate material; Furthermore, the oxidation time of the anodizing process in S1 is 10-30 minutes, the oxidation voltage is 10-25 V, and the thickness of the formed micro-nanostructure layer 4 is 5-20 μm.

[0010] Furthermore, the coupling agent is a silane coupling agent or a titanate coupling agent, the dispersant is zinc stearate or polyethylene wax, the plasticizer is dioctyl phthalate or epoxy soybean oil, and the flame retardant is aluminum hydroxide or melamine.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are: 1. Excellent thermal conductivity. This invention significantly improves the material's thermal conductivity by adding flaky graphite powder, spherical alumina, and carbon fibers to a polymer resin matrix to form a three-dimensional thermal network. The flaky graphite powder provides highly conductive in-plane channels, the spherical alumina fills the interlayer gaps between graphite flakes, and the carbon fibers form penetrating thermal bridges. The synergistic effect of these three factors results in a thermal conductivity of 2-10 W / (m·K), a 5-20 times improvement over traditional aluminum-plastic panels, thereby enhancing heat dissipation performance.

[0012] 2. Excellent mechanical properties. The flaky structure of the flaky graphite powder and the reinforcement of the carbon fibers effectively improve the material's mechanical properties, resulting in both high strength and toughness. Compared to a pure plastic core layer, the intermediate thermally conductive composite layer of this invention boasts a 30-50% increase in tensile strength and a 40-60% increase in flexural strength.

[0013] 3. Strong interface bonding strength. The micro-nano structure layer on the surface of the aluminum alloy plate increases the contact area with the intermediate thermal conductive composite layer. At the same time, the use of coupling agent further enhances the interface bonding strength, making the interlayer peeling strength of the material reach 1.5-3.0N / mm, which is 50-100% higher than that of traditional aluminum-plastic panels.

[0014] 4. Simple process and low cost. The present invention adopts a one-step lamination process, which does not require complex equipment and multiple steps. It has high production efficiency and low cost and is suitable for large-scale industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
