Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of thermally conductive composite materials, and in particular to a method for preparing a graphene / carbon fiber / polymer composite material. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, consumer electronics have become increasingly miniaturized, lightweight, and intelligent. The commercialization of 5G has driven investment in communication base station equipment, and the booming development of power batteries will significantly drive demand for and upgrade thermal conductive materials. For every 2°C increase in the operating temperature of electronic products, their reliability decreases by approximately 10%. Statistics show that 55% of electronic device failures are caused by temperatures exceeding the permitted limit. Therefore, achieving effective heat dissipation has become a bottleneck restricting the development of electronic devices.

[0003] Polymer materials are characterized by their lightweight, easy processing, corrosion resistance, and low cost. High-performance, multifunctional composite materials are essential strategic key new materials. Thermally conductive polymer composites for electronic and electrical applications are in high demand, but have long relied on imports. Therefore, the development of thermally conductive polymer composites with efficient thermal diffusion properties is crucial for further development in this field.

[0004] Thermally conductive composite materials are usually prepared by adding high thermal conductivity fillers to a resin matrix, where high thermal conductivity fillers play an important role in improving heat dissipation. Currently, the industrial preparation of thermal conductive materials still faces many problems:

[0005] (1) Most polymer composites typically exhibit low thermal conductivity (less than 0.5 W / mK), requiring high filler loadings (>50 wt%) when using traditional thermally conductive fillers. Therefore, how to achieve high thermal conductivity at low filling loadings has been a hot topic in the research of thermally conductive polymer composites in recent years.

[0006] (2) High filling significantly reduces the processability of the material, and the particles are prone to agglomeration and phase separation in the polymer matrix, forming stress concentration points and internal micro-defects, which seriously deteriorates the mechanical properties of the material. It is necessary to focus on breaking through the difficult problem of the inability to achieve both high strength and high thermal conductivity of composite materials used in current electronic devices.

[0013] (4) The premix is ​​added into a twin-screw extruder, melt-extruded, cooled and granulated to obtain a graphene / carbon fiber / polymer composite material.

[0014] Furthermore, the monomers include acrylate and vinyl-terminated dimethylmethylvinyl (siloxane and polysiloxane), wherein the mass ratio of acrylate to vinyl-terminated dimethylmethylvinyl (siloxane and polysiloxane) is (5-8):1. The molecular formula of vinyl-terminated dimethylmethylvinyl (siloxane and polysiloxane) is C 13 H 30 O3Si4, CAS number is 68083-18-1.

[0015] Furthermore, the acrylic acid ester includes but is not limited to one or more of methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate.

[0016] Furthermore, the initiator is a water-soluble initiator, and the amount used is 0.1 to 2% of the monomer mass.

[0017] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the graphene to the monomer is 1:(0.5-3).

[0018] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the carbon fiber to the monomer is 1:(0.5-3).

[0019] Furthermore, the emulsifier is a nonionic surfactant, and the amount used is 2 to 10% of the monomer mass.

[0020] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of the copolymerization reaction is 70-90° C., and the reaction time is 2-5 hours.
