Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of graphene thermal conductive materials technology, specifically relating to an ultra-soft porous graphene composite bulk material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of electronic information technology, chip integration is constantly increasing and computing speed is continuously improving. This has led to a dramatic increase in the heat generated per unit area of electronic devices, making thermal management a core bottleneck restricting the performance improvement and lifespan extension of electronic equipment. Thermal pads, as key gap-filling thermally conductive materials, are widely used between electronic heat-generating devices (such as CPUs, GPUs, and power modules) and heat sinks. Their core function is to fill the microscopic gaps between the contact surfaces and eliminate air at the interface. By achieving a tight fit between the device and the heat sink, they significantly reduce interfacial thermal resistance, thereby maximizing heat conduction efficiency.
[0003] Based on the above application requirements, thermal pads must simultaneously meet two core performance indicators: firstly, excellent thermal conductivity for rapid heat transfer; and secondly, good flexibility and compression recovery to adapt to the microscopic morphological differences of contact surfaces of different devices and achieve gapless adhesion. Traditional thermal pads are mostly made by filling metal powder or ceramic particles with a polymer matrix (such as silicone rubber), but their thermal conductivity is limited by the thermal conductivity and dispersion uniformity of the filler, making it difficult to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-end electronic devices.
[0004] Graphene, a two-dimensional carbon material with a single atomic layer thickness, boasts an in-plane thermal conductivity of up to 5000 W / (m·K), far exceeding that of traditional metals and ceramics, making it an ideal raw material for preparing high-performance thermal interface materials. Among these, porous graphene (such as graphene foam and graphene aerogel) not only inherits the excellent thermal conductivity of graphene, but its three-dimensional porous structure also endows the material with a certain degree of compressive deformation capability, further meeting the application requirements of thermal pads.
[0005] However, porous graphene materials have inherent performance limitations: on the one hand, they possess extremely high specific surface areas (typically >1000 m²). 2 The graphene sheets are bound together by van der Waals forces, resulting in an imbalance of surface energy and weak hydrophilicity and polarity. Furthermore, the interfacial interactions are weak because the sheets are only bound by van der Waals forces. These two problems directly lead to extremely poor surface adhesion of porous graphene materials, making it easy for the sheets to peel off. This makes it difficult to prepare large-sized, structurally stable bulk materials using traditional molding processes, and further hinders the achievement of tight bonding and integrated molding between the material layers.
[0006] Therefore, how to overcome the bonding bottleneck of porous graphene and prepare an integrated composite bulk material with high thermal conductivity, ultra-softness and compression resistance has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of thermal interface materials, and it is also the core research goal of this invention. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the problems existing in current technologies, this invention aims to provide a method for preparing ultra-soft porous graphene composite bulk materials. Through multi-dimensional structural control and interface modification strategies, the method solves the problem of poor interlayer adhesion in graphene, ultimately obtaining a structurally stable and high-performance composite bulk material. This material can then be further processed into thermally conductive pads for use as gap-filling thermal conductive materials. The core innovation of this invention lies in achieving a synergistic improvement in the performance of graphene composite bulk materials through a step-by-step strategy of "internal network modification - flexible control - compression performance optimization - precise interlayer adhesion - integrated molding".
[0008] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing an ultrasoft porous graphene composite bulk material, comprising the following steps:
[0010] Preparation of modified porous graphene:
[0011] Porous graphene was immersed in a silicon-based adhesive diluent, then removed horizontally at a uniform speed, and dried and cured at a constant temperature. After the diluent evaporated, the internal network skeleton of the porous graphene was uniformly attached to the cured adhesive, thus obtaining modified porous graphene with improved internal bonding performance.
[0012] Preparation of modified graphene soft sheets:
[0013] Modified porous graphene is laid flat and pressed under constant pressure to improve its internal effective connectivity and flexibility, thus obtaining a modified graphene soft sheet with uniform thickness.
[0014] Preparation of pre-crease modified graphene soft sheets:
[0015] Modified graphene sheets are laid flat on a crease plate with a pre-set texture. The rolling speed is controlled along the pre-set vertical compression direction of the modified graphene sheets to slowly roll and form a pre-bending deformation crease with alternating concave and convex structures to improve the compression deformation capacity in this direction. This structure enables tight interlayer bonding during subsequent composite processes, thus producing a pre-crease modified graphene sheet.
[0016] Preparation of adhesives for spraying:
[0017] After the silicone-based adhesive or the mixture of silicone-based adhesive and composite thermally conductive filler is stirred evenly, defoaming treatment is performed to obtain a spray adhesive with no bubbles and the target viscosity.
[0018] Preparation of modified graphene thin-film composite sheets:
[0019] The adhesive for spraying is transferred to the spray gun. The pre-folded modified graphene sheet is laid flat and fixed on the heating table. The nozzle diameter, spray amplitude, atomization parameters, heating temperature and moving speed of the spray gun are adjusted to control the thickness of the adhesive layer. The adhesive is sprayed onto the surface of the pre-folded modified graphene sheet. After the adhesive is cured, a modified graphene thin-layer composite sheet with adhesive on one side is obtained.

[0029] Furthermore, in the preparation of modified graphene soft sheets, the pressing pressure under constant pressure is 2t-10t, and the thickness is 0.01mm-0.09mm.
[0030] Furthermore, in the preparation of pre-creased modified graphene soft sheets, the rolling speed is 2 mm / s-10 mm / s.
[0031] Furthermore, in the preparation of the adhesive for spraying, the silicone-based adhesive is a thermally conductive liquid gelled silicone, silicone rubber, or organosilicon pressure-sensitive adhesive;

[0033] The mixing process uses a high-speed mixer with a speed of 200 r / min-1000 r / min and a mixing time of 2 min-5 min;
[0034] Defoaming is performed using vacuum defoaming or by adding a defoamer. During vacuum defoaming, the vacuum level (gauge pressure) is controlled at -0.1 MPa, and the defoaming time is 2-5 minutes. The amount of defoamer added is 0.1%-0.5% of the total mass of the mixture.
[0035] The target viscosity of the adhesive for spraying is 500 mPa·s-2000 mPa·s.
[0036] Furthermore, in the preparation of modified graphene thin-layer composite sheets, the spray amplitude is adjusted according to the planar dimensions of the thin-layer graphene foam sheet, so that the spray amplitude of the spray gun corresponds to the full coverage of the thin-layer graphene foam sheet plane; the atomization parameters are adjusted by adjusting the air pressure valve to keep the air pressure between 0.2MPa and 0.6MPa; and the nozzle diameter is adjusted to 0.01mm-1mm.

[0049] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0050] A method for preparing an ultrasoft porous graphene composite bulk material includes the following steps:
[0051] Preparation of modified porous graphene:
[0052] Porous graphene is immersed in a silicone adhesive diluent for 2-5 seconds, then removed horizontally at a constant speed and dried at a constant temperature of 50℃-100℃ for 5-10 minutes to allow the diluent to fully evaporate. The adhesive is then uniformly attached to the internal network framework of the porous graphene, resulting in modified porous graphene with improved internal bonding performance. The porous graphene is selected from one or more of graphene foam, graphene aerogel, or graphene sponge. The silicone adhesive diluent is obtained by diluting the silicone adhesive with a diluent at a dilution ratio of 1:(1-6). The silicone adhesive is a thermally conductive liquid silicone gel, silicone rubber, or organosilicon pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the diluent is a low-boiling-point silicone oil, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acetate, isopropanol, or ethanol.
[0053] Preparation of modified graphene soft sheets:

The sheets are then slowly rolled at a speed of 2 mm / s to 10 mm / s along the pre-set vertical compression direction to form a pre-bending deformation crease with alternating concave and convex structures. This improves the compression deformation capacity in this direction and enables tight interlayer bonding in the subsequent composite process, thus producing a pre-crease modified graphene sheet.
[0057] Preparation of adhesives for spraying:
[0058] A spray adhesive with no bubbles and a target viscosity of 500 mPa·s-2000 mPa·s is prepared by vacuum defoaming or adding a defoamer to a mixture of silicone-based adhesive or silicone-based adhesive and composite thermally conductive filler.
[0059] The silicone-based adhesive is a thermally conductive liquid gelled silicone, silicone rubber, or pressure-sensitive adhesive; the composite thermally conductive filler is one or more of the following: carbon-based filler, metal-based filler, ceramic-based filler, modified carbon-based filler, modified metal-based filler, or modified ceramic-based filler; wherein the carbon-based filler is selected from graphene or carbon black; the metal-based filler is selected from copper powder, silver powder, silver nanopowder, silicon crystal powder, nano-alumina, or nano-aluminum nitride; and the ceramic-based filler is nano-boron nitride.

[0061] When vacuum defoaming is used, the vacuum degree (gauge pressure) is controlled at -0.1MPa, and the defoaming treatment lasts for 2-5 minutes. When defoaming agent is used, the amount of defoaming agent added is 0.1%-0.5% of the total mass of the mixture.
[0062] Preparation of modified graphene thin-film composite sheets:
[0063] Transfer the adhesive to the spray gun hopper. Lay the pre-creased modified graphene sheet flat and fix it on the heating table. Adjust the spray gun's spray amplitude according to the planar dimensions of the graphene foam sheet to cover 100%-110% of its area. Adjust the air pressure valve to maintain an air pressure of 0.2MPa-0.6MPa to control the atomization fineness and ensure the adhesive forms uniform droplets. Adjust the nozzle diameter to 0.01mm-1mm. Set the heating table temperature to 50°C. At ℃-100℃, start the spray gun and spray the adhesive evenly on the surface of the thin graphene foam sheet at a moving speed of 5cm / s-20cm / s to form a uniform adhesive layer with a thickness of 1μm-10μm; maintain the heating temperature and let stand for 1min-5min to allow the adhesive to fully cure, thus obtaining a modified graphene thin-layer composite sheet with adhesive on one side (similar to tape, a thin sheet that is bonded on one side); adjust the nozzle diameter, spray amplitude, atomization parameters, heating temperature and moving speed of the spray gun to control the thickness of the adhesive layer.
[0064] Preparation of ultrasoft porous graphene composite bulk materials:
[0065] Choose option one or option two;
[0066] Option 1: Lay the modified graphene thin-layer composite material in layers along the pre-fold lines, and then apply a pressure of 5N-10N in the preset vertical compression direction. Each layer is tightly interlocked to form a laminated structure of ultra-soft porous graphene composite block material.
[0067] Option 2: Using the edge of the modified graphene thin-layer composite material perpendicular to the pre-crease direction as the center, a tensile force of 2N / m-10N / m is used to tightly wind and interlock the material to form a circular or square roll structure of ultra-soft porous graphene composite block material.
[0068] An ultra-soft porous graphene composite bulk material is prepared using the above-mentioned preparation method for ultra-soft porous graphene composite bulk materials, resulting in ultra-soft porous graphene composite bulk materials with different packing structures.
