Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicone rubber technology, specifically to a self-healing thermally conductive silicone rubber for connectors and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Modern electronic and electrical equipment is rapidly developing towards higher integration and higher power density, making efficient thermal management a key factor in ensuring equipment reliability and lifespan. Electrical connectors, as crucial components in circuit systems, directly impact the safe operation of the entire device. During prolonged use, connectors accumulate heat due to factors such as contact resistance. If this heat cannot be dissipated promptly, it leads to increased contact temperature, accelerated oxidation, increased connection resistance, performance degradation, and even serious malfunctions such as short circuits or fires. Therefore, equipping critical electrical connectors with a protective sleeve that provides both insulation and efficient heat conduction has become an important technical means to ensure the safe and stable operation of connectors.

[0003] Therefore, developing highly efficient thermally conductive materials has become crucial for ensuring equipment stability and extending its service life. Silicone rubber, as an excellent material, has a main chain composed of high-energy -Si-O- bonds, exhibiting good stability and resistance to high and low temperatures, enabling it to operate normally within a wide temperature range of -60℃ to 200℃. Simultaneously, silicone rubber also possesses excellent flexibility, weather resistance, chemical stability, electrical insulation, and good processability. Therefore, thermally conductive silicone rubber has become one of the ideal materials for connector protective sleeves. Thermally conductive silicone rubber devices prepared by molding can fit tightly to the connector, effectively dissipating heat.

[0004] However, it is important to note that under prolonged high-temperature conditions, thermally conductive silicone rubber may suffer irreversible fatigue damage due to the continuous accumulation of thermal stress. Furthermore, during transportation and installation, minute scratches or cracks may appear on the surface of the protective sleeve. These minor damages will gradually expand over time, eventually penetrating the entire material, leading to a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the protective sleeve and affecting its insulation performance, thus becoming a potential hazard during equipment operation. Summary of the Invention

After cooling, the product is packaged and shipped.

[0053] The only change from Example 1 is that POSS-NH2 was not used for end-capping treatment when synthesizing the self-healing polyborosiloxane.

[0054] The measured properties are: thermal conductivity 2.5 W (mk), hardness 62 A, tensile strength 1.3 MPa, and elongation at break 137%.

[0055] Comparative Example 3 A self-healing polyborosiloxane. By weight, it comprises the following components: 100 parts of hydroxyl-containing hydrogen silicone oil; 16 parts of tetrahydroxydiboron; POSS-NH 24 copies; 600 parts of chloroform; One part of potassium hydroxide solution; The viscosity of the hydroxyl-containing hydrogen silicone oil is 1500 mPa·s; the molar concentration of the potassium hydroxide solution is 2 mol / L.

[0056] The preparation method is as follows: Tetrahydroxydiboron and hydroxyl-containing hydrogen silicone oil are added to a chloroform solution, and the temperature is raised to 100℃ to allow them to undergo a dehydration condensation reaction for 4 hours. During the reaction, the solvent is refluxed to remove moisture and accelerate the reaction rate. Subsequently, POSS-NH2 is added, and the pH is adjusted to 9 with potassium hydroxide solution. The temperature is controlled at 50℃ for 3.5 hours, followed by washing and filtration to obtain the synthesized self-healing polyborosiloxane.

[0057] A self-healing thermally conductive silicone rubber. By weight, it comprises the following components: 50 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber; 50 parts of polyborosiloxane; 30 parts of silica; 100 parts of hexagonal boron nitride; 650 parts of spherical alumina; 200 parts of spherical zinc oxide; 1.5 parts of hydrogen-containing silicone oil; 8 parts of dimethyl silicone oil; 1 part platinum catalyst; The methyl vinyl silicone rubber has a vinyl content of 0.8 mol% and a molecular weight of 600,000; the hydrogen content of the hydrogen-containing silicone oil is 1 mol%; and the viscosity of the dimethyl silicone oil is 500 mPa / s.

[0058] The preparation method is as follows: 50 parts of methyl vinyl silicone rubber and 50 parts of polyoxymethylene siloxane are placed in a mixer, then 30 parts of silica and 2 parts of hydrogen-containing silicone oil are added and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour until it is uniformly mixed; then 100 parts of hexagonal boron nitride, 650 parts of alumina, 200 parts of zinc oxide and 8 parts of dimethyl silicone oil are added and stirred for 1.5 hours; then the mixture is vacuum kneaded in a kneader for 30 minutes; then the material is discharged, and 1 part of platinum catalyst is added to a two-roll mill and the mixture is sheeted; after sheeting, the mixture is vulcanized in a hot press at 160°C for 20 minutes, then the temperature is raised to 180°C and vulcanized for another 4 hours. After cooling, the product is packaged and shipped.

[0059] The measured thermal conductivity is 3.5 W (mk), the hardness is 58 A, the tensile strength is 0.57 MPa, and the elongation at break is 83%.

[0060] The only change from Example 3 is that the amount of methyl vinyl silicone rubber added is reduced to 50 parts, and the amount of polyborosiloxane added is increased to 50 parts.

[0061] The performance test results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 shows the performance test results of the thermally conductive silicone rubbers prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0062] The thermally conductive filler content in Examples 1-3 was gradually increased, and the results showed that the thermal conductivity and hardness of the resulting adhesive increased, while the mechanical properties decreased accordingly.

[0063] Comparative Example 1 and Example 3 had the same formulation, the difference being the absence of polyborosiloxane. The results showed that although the thermal conductivity of the resulting thermally conductive adhesive was the same as in Example 3, its hardness was higher, while its mechanical properties were lower. This indicates that adding an appropriate amount of polyborosiloxane improves the flexibility and mechanical properties of the thermally conductive adhesive.

[0064] Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 had the same formulation, the difference being that POSS-NH2 was not added for end-capping treatment during the synthesis of the polyborosiloxane. The results showed that although the thermal conductivity of the resulting thermally conductive adhesive was the same as that of Example 1, its mechanical properties were lower. This indicates that the end-capped polyborosiloxane exhibited better performance.

[0065] Comparative Example 3 and Example 3 had the same formulation, the difference being the addition of more polyborosiloxane. The results showed that although the thermal conductivity of the resulting thermally conductive adhesive was similar to that of Example 3, its mechanical properties were poor, rendering it unusable. This indicates that excessive addition of polyborosiloxane severely affects the vulcanization crosslinking.

[0066] like Figure 1As shown, the thermally conductive adhesive pieces cut in Example 1, when spliced ​​together, exhibit self-healing properties. After being left at room temperature for 12 hours, the material achieves effective repair, leaving only slight traces on the surface. Heating accelerates the repair process: after maintaining a temperature of 80°C for 5 hours, the surface traces essentially disappear, resulting in a more complete repair.

[0067] The above are the embodiments listed in this example. However, this example is not limited to the optional embodiments described above. Those skilled in the art can arbitrarily combine the above methods to obtain other various embodiments. Anyone can derive other various forms of embodiments based on the inspiration of this example. The above specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this example. The scope of protection of this example should be determined by the claims, and the specification can be used to interpret the claims.
