Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aramid nanofiber composite material technology, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a high thermal conductivity and breakdown resistant aramid nanofiber-based composite film. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic devices towards miniaturization, integration, flexibility, and high power, traditional materials face greater challenges. Especially in high-frequency operating environments, the heat generated by electrical equipment accumulates rapidly. There is an urgent need to design and prepare insulating materials with high thermal conductivity so that the heat accumulated in the coils of the equipment can be quickly and timely transferred to heat dissipation equipment or insulating oil, thereby ensuring the normal operation of electrical equipment and extending its service life.

[0003] Aramid nanofibers (ANFs) are a novel nanomaterial that has attracted widespread attention in recent years. They have unique nanoscale structures, large aspect ratios and specific surface areas. Compared with smooth and inert aramid fibers, aramid nanofibers have more surface active groups, higher interfacial compatibility with the matrix and stronger bonding strength. Therefore, they are widely used as reinforcing materials for composite materials. In addition, due to the good thermal stability, excellent mechanical properties and insulation properties of macroscopic aramid fibers, they are often used to prepare films and composite materials, which are widely used in adsorption filtration, battery separators, electronic and electrical fields.

[0004] Aramid, as a liquid crystal polymer, has a thermal conductivity of only 0.04 W·m. -1 ·K -1 The difficulty in achieving rapid heat transfer limits the further application of ANF in fields such as electronics and electrical engineering. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN, hereinafter referred to as BN) has a high thermal conductivity (300 W·m). -1 ·K -1 Boron nitride (BNNS) exhibits good insulation and thermal stability, and is inexpensive, making it suitable for large-scale applications. The thermal conductivity of BNNS prepared by exfoliating boron nitride can reach 1000 W·m. -1 ·K -1 The above is comparable to carbon materials such as diamond and carbon nanotubes.

[0005] Combining aramid nanofibers and boron nitride nanosheets holds promise for developing film materials that combine toughness, electrical insulation, heat resistance, and good thermal conductivity. However, this still relies on the rational design and effective control of the composite material structure. The most common method is to modify the surface of the thermally conductive filler. For example, CN118909309A discloses a surface-modified hexagonal boron nitride and polyimide composite thermally conductive film and its preparation method. Hexagonal boron nitride is surface-treated sequentially with a small molecule coupling agent and a polymer modifier, introducing hydrophilic groups onto the surface of the hexagonal boron nitride, improving its compatibility with polyimide, and enhancing the thermal conductivity of the composite film. In addition, there are methods that use external fields such as magnetic fields, electric fields, and force fields to orient the thermally conductive filler. For example, CN119331381A discloses a method for preparing a vertically oriented boron nitride / epoxy resin thermally conductive composite material under a magnetic field. This method prepares boron nitride nanosheets with iron oxide attached to the surface and orients the boron nitride along the magnetic field direction, improving the thermal conductivity of the composite material in the orientation direction.

[0006] The methods described above all use single-size boron nitride (BNNS) as thermally conductive fillers, which makes it difficult to form a complete and uniform coverage within the surface of the thermally conductive material, reducing the number of thermally conductive pathways. Furthermore, all of these methods require surface modification of boron nitride, which not only involves a long and complex preparation process but also results in poor modification effects due to the high chemical stability and surface inertness of boron nitride, leading to poor thermal conductivity of the composite material. If a large amount of easily surface-modifiable materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes are used to prepare thermally conductive composite materials with a polymer matrix, it will severely damage the insulation properties of the composite material, failing to meet the insulation performance requirements of materials used in high-frequency motors, high-voltage transformers, and other fields.

[0083] (1) Disperse 0.25g of AgNWs with a diameter of 50nm and a length of 10µm in 100mL of DMSO to prepare an AgNWs / DMSO dispersion with a concentration of 2.5mg / mL;

[0084] (2) Mix 2.95g potassium methoxide, 100mL DMSO, 5mL tert-butanol and 5g para-aramid short fibers, and stir at 300rpm for 24h at 60℃ to obtain an aramid nanofiber sol with a concentration of 5wt%.

[0085] (3) The ANF / AgNWs / DMSO dispersion was coated onto a clean, flat glass plate with a thickness of 0.8 mm.

[0087] Figure 1 The diagram shows a typical internal structure and thermal conductivity pathway of the aramid nanofiber-based composite film of the present invention. In the diagram, mBNNS forms a relatively loose arrangement in the matrix, nBNNS fills its gaps, and AgNWs are uniformly distributed in the matrix and connect multiple BNNS, which promotes the formation of continuous thermal conductivity pathways (red arrows) and is beneficial to the transfer of heat in the composite film.

[0088] Figure 2 The invention demonstrates that the BNNS used in this invention is an approximately circular sheet material with a high aspect ratio (length (lateral dimension) to diameter (thickness), which facilitates its in-plane parallel orientation arrangement in the polymer matrix, thereby improving the in-plane thermal conductivity of the composite film.

[0089] Figure 3 The invention demonstrates that the AgNWs used in this invention have a relatively uniform diameter and length, and a high aspect ratio, which allows AgNWs to connect a large number of BNNSs with a small amount of addition, thereby accelerating the heat conduction between BNNSs and improving the thermal conductivity of the composite film.

[0090] Figure 4 and Figure 5The results show that as the content of AgNWs in the composite film increases, the amount of AgNWs on the surface of the composite film gradually increases, which increases the current conduction on the surface and inside of the film. This results in a certain degree of decrease in the insulation performance of the composite film, with the breakdown strength decreasing from 147.0 kV / mm to 42.7 kV / mm. However, overall, its insulation performance is still relatively good, indicating that the addition of a small amount of AgNWs will not seriously damage the insulation performance of the composite film.

[0091] Figure 6 This indicates that when only a single-size mBNNS is used as the thermally conductive filler, there are many voids in the composite film that cannot be covered by the thermally conductive filler (the area within the yellow circle), thus failing to form a complete thermally conductive path. However, when mBNNS and nBNNS are used in a certain proportion, such as Figure 7 As shown, the thermally conductive filler is completely and uniformly distributed in the composite film, promoting the formation of thermal conductivity pathways and increasing the thermal conductivity of the composite film from 6.6 W·m. -1 ·K -1 Increased to 10.2 W·m -1 ·K -1 Meanwhile, the reduced voids and potential internal defects in the composite film also improve the mechanical and insulation properties of the film, with its tensile strength increasing from 135.6 MPa to 157.1 MPa and its breakdown strength increasing from 384.5 kV / mm to 396.2 kV / mm.

[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, when only AgNWs are used to composite with aramid nanofibers, the surface of the composite film is relatively dense, with no BNNS and obvious AgNWs. At this time, the thermal conductivity of the composite film is only 0.145 W·m. -1 ·K -1 This indicates that using AgNWs alone cannot significantly improve the thermal conductivity of composite materials. Only when BNNS and AgNWs are used in combination can AgNWs act as a "bridge" for heat transfer between BNNS and effectively improve the thermal conductivity of composite materials.
