Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulating film materials, and in particular to a ceramic composite insulating film and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Insulating films are primarily used for electrical isolation and are widely applied in electronic devices, new energy batteries, power systems, semiconductor packaging, and aerospace. When used for insulation protection in electronic devices, power batteries, and new energy vehicle components, in addition to high requirements for insulation performance and mechanical strength, high requirements for thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance are often placed on considering the product's heat dissipation performance and its high-temperature operating environment.
[0003] Epoxy resin is a widely used insulating film substrate due to its excellent electrical insulation properties, mechanical properties, and simple molding process. For example, patent CN115960556A discloses an insulating film for automotive liquid cooling plates, and patent CN117986809B describes a high thermal conductivity insulating film made of a high thermal conductivity insulating resin composition and its preparation method.
[0004] However, epoxy resin has poor thermal conductivity, typically ranging from 0.17 to 0.21 W / (m·K). Furthermore, the long-term operating temperature range for epoxy resin insulating films is generally around 120-150℃, limiting their use in certain high-temperature environments. Therefore, to further improve the long-term stability and performance of the insulating film, it is necessary to further improve the electrical insulation properties and mechanical strength of the epoxy resin.

This can well meet the needs of application scenarios that require insulation, heat dissipation and high temperature resistance.
[0020] In this invention, composite ceramic reinforcing fillers with a high aspect ratio are uniformly dispersed in the insulating film matrix and interwoven to form a three-dimensional network structure, significantly improving thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. The added lamellar ceramic reinforcing fillers are interwoven and dispersed into the network structure, filling the gaps and creating a "maze effect." The lamellar structure significantly extends the charge migration path, suppressing partial discharge and electrical tree growth, thereby increasing the breakdown field strength. The three-dimensional network structure acts as an insulating skeleton, while the layered structure provides directional barrier; the combination of these two structures further enhances insulation performance. Simultaneously, the lamellar structure serves as a mechanical transfer surface for loads, while the three-dimensional network structure forms a three-dimensional load-bearing support skeleton; the combination of these two structures further improves mechanical strength. Furthermore, the lamellar structure provides in-plane heat conduction channels, which, together with the fiber-formed three-dimensional network structure, construct a multi-dimensional heat conduction network, creating more continuous heat conduction pathways and improving heat conduction efficiency and uniformity in all directions.

[0030] In this invention, the combined addition of composite ceramic reinforcing fillers and sheet-like ceramic reinforcing fillers comprehensively improves the mechanical strength, insulation performance, and heat resistance of epoxy resin-based insulating films, while maintaining high thermal conductivity. This effectively meets the needs of applications requiring insulation, heat dissipation, and high-temperature resistance, such as the insulation protection of electronic devices and power batteries. The preparation and mechanism of action of the composite ceramic reinforcing fillers and sheet-like ceramic reinforcing fillers are described in detail below to facilitate understanding of this invention.
[0031] I. Composite ceramic reinforced filler 1. Preparation mechanism: First, H2O2 and hydrochloric acid were used as mixed acids to introduce a large number of hydroxyl groups on the surface of silicon nitride through conventional acid washing methods (Wu Peiyao, Bao Chonggao, Li Shijia, et al. Effect of hydroxylation combined with silane coupling agent modification on the properties of photocurable Si3N4 paste [J]. Bulletin of the Chinese Ceramic Society, 2022, 41(6):2134-2142.), to obtain hydroxylated silicon nitride powder; at the same time, the hydroxyl groups on the surface of basalt fibers were enriched by alkaline immersion treatment to obtain pretreated basalt fibers; Grafting using Al 3+ As a component of the Overseas Chinese Federation, hydroxylated silicon nitride powder is assembled and grafted onto the surface of pretreated basalt fibers through coordination and / or electrostatic adsorption, resulting in a composite filler by coating the pretreated basalt fiber surface with hydroxylated silicon nitride powder. In this process, hydrothermal aluminum salts are blended with the pretreated basalt fibers. 3+ Al coordinates with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of pretreated basalt fibers and combines with hydroxylated silicon nitride powder. 3+ It can coordinate and bind with hydroxyl groups on the surface of hydroxylated silicon nitride powder, thereby achieving the connection between the powder and the hydroxyl group. Then, through hydrothermal reaction and high-temperature calcination, Al... 3+ It is converted into Al2O3, thereby firmly grafting hydroxylated silicon nitride powder onto the surface of pretreated basalt fiber through stable chemical bonds; Finally, epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymer grafting was performed on the composite filler: first, vinyltriethoxysilane was used to introduce double bonds that could participate in subsequent polymerization reactions on the surface of the composite filler, and then acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate were used as acrylic acid / acrylate monomers, and epoxy resin E-51 was compounded as a modifying component. The epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymer was obtained by in-situ polymerization on the composite filler, and finally, a composite ceramic reinforced filler was obtained. The main mechanism of epoxy resin copolymerization modification of polyacrylate is: epoxy resin undergoes ring-opening reaction under the catalysis of N,N-dimethylaniline, and then copolymerizes with acrylic acid / acrylate monomers (Zhuang Caihong, Wang Hui, Yin Jian, et al. Preparation of epoxy acrylate resin and its polyurethane modification [J]. Journal of Central South University: Natural Science Edition, 2012, 43(7):6.DOI:CNKI:SUN:ZNGD.0.2012-07-017.).
[0032] 2. Mechanism of action: Silicon nitride is a ceramic material with excellent insulation and thermal conductivity. Its electrical breakdown strength is typically 15–40 kV / mm, and its theoretical intrinsic thermal conductivity can reach 200–320 W / (m·K), with practical applications typically achieving 60–90 W / (m·K). Simultaneously, it possesses high mechanical strength, thermal stability, chemical stability, and strong oxidation resistance, making it an ideal ceramic filler for insulating films. Its main drawbacks are high brittleness and susceptibility to pulverization, high surface polarity leading to agglomeration, and poor compatibility with organic matrices.
[0033] Basalt fiber is a natural mineral fiber with high mechanical strength and excellent insulation properties. It also exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance, strong chemical stability, and is flame-retardant and environmentally friendly. However, when used as a filler in insulating films, it suffers from low thermal conductivity and poor compatibility with organic matrices.
[0034] In this invention, a composite is formed by coating silicon nitride onto the surface of basalt fibers. On one hand, the silicon nitride forms a thermally conductive outer layer, which significantly improves the insufficient thermal conductivity of basalt fibers. Simultaneously, the loading effect of the basalt fibers helps promote the dispersion of silicon nitride and reduce its agglomeration. Furthermore, the basalt fibers act as a supporting skeleton, and the coating with epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymers further mitigates the pulverization caused by the high brittleness of silicon nitride. On the other hand, the grafting of silicon nitride helps improve the surface roughness of the basalt fibers, enhancing the chemical bonding and mechanical interlocking with the matrix, reducing interfacial debonding, and increasing the interfacial connection strength with the matrix. Moreover, silicon nitride can transmit and bear loads, and basalt fibers serve as a stress-bearing supporting skeleton structure; the combination of these two elements further improves the mechanical strength of the insulating film.
[0035] In this invention, by further combining the coating of epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymer with good compatibility with the epoxy resin matrix of the insulating film with the formation of a composite structure, the problem of poor compatibility between silicon nitride and basalt fibers and the insulating film matrix can be simultaneously solved, promoting the uniform dispersion of the two materials in the insulating film matrix, thereby better exerting their reinforcing effect. On the other hand, the acrylate copolymer itself can also act as a flexible segment to absorb impact energy, improve flexibility, and reduce microcracks.
[0036] In the epoxy resin modified acrylate copolymer of the present invention, by optimizing the formulation components and incorporating epoxy resin modification, the compatibility between the polymer and the epoxy resin insulating film matrix can be improved. The main reasons include: (1) The side chain of the introduced glycidyl methacrylate has an active glycidyl epoxy group. The chemical properties of this group are highly similar to the epoxy group of the epoxy resin itself, which improves the compatibility between the two. The epoxy group containing glycidyl acrylate has high reactivity and can undergo ring-opening addition reaction with the active functional groups in the epoxy resin system, thereby combining into the cross-linking network system of the epoxy resin in the form of covalent bonds, and finally further improving the compatibility. (2) The incorporation of epoxy resin makes the chemical structure of the polymer more similar to the epoxy resin insulating film matrix. The unreacted epoxy groups and ether bonds (from the epoxy resin skeleton) in the polymer molecule can undergo ring-opening reaction under the action of curing agent, just like the epoxy resin in the matrix. After cross-linking and curing, they form an interpenetrating network structure with the matrix, which improves the compatibility stability from the structural source.
[0037] II. Laminated ceramic reinforcing fillers Preparation mechanism: Hexagonal boron nitride powder was ball-milled to obtain plate-like hexagonal boron nitride. Then, a large number of hydroxyl groups were introduced into the plate-like hexagonal boron nitride through a hydrothermal reaction in NaOH solution to obtain hydroxylated plate-like hexagonal boron nitride. The surface of the hydroxylated plate-like hexagonal boron nitride was directly modified by reacting vinyltriethoxysilane with the hydroxyl groups, thereby introducing double bonds that can participate in subsequent polymerization reactions to obtain plate-like ceramic reinforcing filler. Finally, epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymer was grafted onto the plate-like ceramic reinforcing filler through in-situ polymerization to obtain the final plate-like ceramic reinforcing filler. The preparation and action mechanism of this copolymer grafting are the same as those in the composite ceramic reinforcing filler.
[0038] Mechanism of action: Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) possesses excellent thermal conductivity, insulation properties, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. When fabricated into sheet-like hexagonal boron nitride, the high aspect ratio sheet structure forms thermally conductive pathways, thereby enhancing thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the sheet-like filler readily forms a stacked structure in the matrix, effectively transferring stress and hindering crack propagation, thus improving tensile strength while moderately mitigating brittleness. Grafting with epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymers significantly improves their compatibility with the epoxy resin matrix, promoting their uniform dispersion in the insulating film matrix.
[0039] III. The combined effect of composite ceramic reinforced fillers and sheet-like ceramic reinforced fillers: Composite ceramic reinforcing fillers with a high aspect ratio are uniformly dispersed in the insulating film matrix and interwoven to form a three-dimensional network structure, significantly improving thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. The added lamellar ceramic reinforcing fillers are interwoven and dispersed into the network structure, filling the gaps and creating a "maze effect." The lamellar structure significantly extends the charge migration path, suppressing partial discharge and electrical tree growth, thereby increasing the breakdown field strength. The three-dimensional network structure acts as an insulating skeleton, while the layered structure provides directional barrier properties; the combination of these two structures further enhances insulation performance. Simultaneously, the lamellar structure serves as a mechanical transfer surface for loads, while the three-dimensional network structure forms a three-dimensional load-bearing support skeleton; the combination of these two structures further improves mechanical strength. Furthermore, the lamellar structure provides in-plane heat conduction channels, synergistically constructing a multi-dimensional heat conduction network with the fiber-formed three-dimensional network structure, creating more continuous heat conduction pathways, improving thermal efficiency and anisotropic heat conduction uniformity.

[0066] Comparative Example 6 The only difference between this example and Example 1 is that: In this example, epoxy resin E-51 is not added in step A-4-3 of the preparation of composite ceramic reinforcing filler, and step A-4-2 is changed to: mix 2.5g acrylic acid, 4.5g methyl methacrylate and 5g glycidyl methacrylate to obtain a monomer mixture; In this example, epoxy resin E-51 is not added in step B-4-3 of the preparation of sheet-like ceramic reinforcing filler, and step B-4-2 is changed to: mixing 2.5g of acrylic acid, 4.5g of methyl methacrylate and 5g of glycidyl methacrylate to obtain a monomer mixture.

[0068] I. Performance Characterization Reference Figure 1 The infrared absorption spectra of silicon nitride (Si3N4) powder and hydroxylated silicon nitride powder (Si3N4-OH) prepared in Example 1 show that the characteristic peaks of OH bonds in the spectrum of Si3N4-OH are significantly enhanced, which is attributed to the introduction of abundant hydroxyl groups.
[0069] Reference Figure 2 The infrared absorption spectra of the pretreated basalt fiber (BF-OH) and composite filler (BF-Al-Si3N4) prepared in Example 1 show that obvious OH bond characteristic peaks appeared in the BF-OH spectrum, indicating that abundant hydroxyl groups were successfully introduced into the surface of the basalt fiber through pretreatment. The characteristic peaks of Si3N4, Si-O-Si from BF, and Al-O from the BF-Al-Si3N4 spectrum indicate that the assembly of hydroxylated silicon nitride powder and pretreated basalt fiber was successfully achieved.
[0070] Reference Figure 3 The image shown is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the composite filler prepared in Example 1. It can be seen that a large number of particles are grafted onto the surface of the basalt fibers in the composite filler. Figure 2 Analysis shows that these particles are Si3N4 particles grafted by Al.
[0071] Reference Figure 4 The infrared absorption spectra of the plate-like hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and hydroxylated plate-like hexagonal boron nitride (BN-OH) prepared in Example 1 are shown. It can be seen that the characteristic peak of the OH bond in the spectrum of BN-OH is significantly enhanced, indicating that abundant hydroxyl groups were successfully introduced into the plate-like hexagonal boron nitride.
[0072] II. Performance Testing 1. Mechanical properties The tensile strength of the insulating films prepared in the examples and comparative examples was tested in accordance with standard GB / T 1040.1-2018. 2. Insulation performance Referring to standard GB / T1408.1-2006, the breakdown field strength of the insulating films prepared in the examples and comparative examples was tested using a voltage breakdown tester. 3. Thermal conductivity The thermal conductivity of the insulating films prepared in the examples and comparative examples was tested using a thermal conductivity meter in accordance with the standard ASTM D5470-2006 (the test method was the transient planar heat source method).
[0073] 4. High temperature resistance The insulating films prepared in the examples and comparative examples were kept at 180°C for 6 hours, and then the tensile strength and breakdown field strength were tested according to the above method. The tensile strength retention rate and breakdown field strength retention rate after high-temperature treatment were calculated. Tensile strength retention rate = (Tensile strength after high-temperature treatment / Tensile strength before high-temperature treatment) × 100%; Breakdown field strength retention rate = (breakdown field strength after high temperature treatment / breakdown field strength before high temperature treatment) × 100%.
[0074] The test results are shown in Table 1 below: The test results in Table 1 show that: The insulating films prepared in Examples 1-3 have high tensile strength and breakdown field strength, good thermal conductivity, and excellent high temperature resistance, exhibiting excellent comprehensive performance. In Comparative Example 1, no composite ceramic reinforcing filler was added, and in Comparative Example 2, no sheet-like ceramic reinforcing filler was added; the overall performance of both decreased significantly. In Comparative Example 3, the assembly of hydroxylated silicon nitride powder and pretreated basalt fiber was not carried out, resulting in a significant decrease in thermal conductivity, tensile strength, breakdown field strength, and heat resistance. Comparative Example 4 uses a physical blend of pretreated basalt fiber coated with polymer and hydroxylated silicon nitride powder coated with polymer. The decrease in its overall performance indicates that assembling hydroxylated silicon nitride powder and pretreated basalt fiber into a composite can better improve the overall performance of the insulating film.
[0075] In Comparative Example 5, composite fillers were used instead of composite ceramic reinforcing fillers. However, the compatibility between hydroxylated silicon nitride powder and pretreated basalt fiber and insulating film matrix was not improved by coating epoxy resin-modified acrylate copolymer, resulting in a decrease in overall performance. Comparative Example 6 uses an acrylate copolymer to coat the composite filler, but the epoxy resin is missing, which reduces the compatibility between the composite ceramic reinforced filler and the insulating film matrix, ultimately leading to a certain degree of decrease in overall performance. The results of Comparative Example 7 show that using flake hexagonal boron nitride can better improve the insulation performance, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength and heat resistance of the insulating film than using hexagonal boron nitride powder.

They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details.
