Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a thermally conductive polymer composition, a material for forming the thermally conductive polymer composition, and a thermally conductive polymer. [Background technology]

[0002] Heat transfer materials that are provided between a heat generating element and a heat dissipating member and transmit heat are known in various forms, such as grease type, gap filler type, and sheet type. By using these heat transfer materials, for example, heat generated in the heat generating element can be efficiently dissipated from a heat dissipating member such as a metal housing or a heat sink. By providing such a heat transfer material between the heat generating element and the heat dissipating member, the thermal resistance between the heat generating element and the heat dissipating member can be reduced.

[0003] In recent years, as various electronic devices have become more sophisticated and integrated, there has been a demand for structures with improved heat dissipation properties so that the heat generated by the operation of component parts (heat-generating elements) can be efficiently dissipated to the outside. For this reason, there is a demand for heat transfer materials that can further reduce the thermal resistance between the heat-generating element and the heat-dissipating material.

[0004] In order to reduce the thermal resistance between the heat-generating body and the heat-dissipating member, it is possible to increase the thermal conductivity of the heat-transfer material itself, or to increase the adhesion between the heat-transfer material and the heat-generating body or heat-dissipating member that comes into contact with the heat-transfer material, thereby reducing the thermal resistance (interfacial thermal resistance) that occurs at the interface between them.

[0005] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a heat transfer material in which a filler having high thermal conductivity, such as alumina, is filled into a silicone resin or the like is known as a general heat transfer material (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Also, in order to reduce the thermal resistance occurring at the interface between the heat transfer material and each member in contact with it, there are known heat transfer materials that improve adhesion to the surface of each member, for example, by lowering the hardness (see, for example, Patent Document 2). Furthermore, in order to reduce the thermal resistance that occurs at the interface between the heat transfer material and each component that comes into contact with it, two-component curing gap fillers that can be cured by mixing multiple highly fluid fluids and putty-like heat transfer materials are also known (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-006428 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-011423 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-050701 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-157554 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, in all of the heat transfer materials disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 4, the hardness increases as the amount of filler added increases to improve thermal conductivity, making it difficult to make the heat transfer material conform to the surface shape of each component and adhere tightly without gaps. Therefore, to ensure high thermal conductivity, a sheet-shaped heat transfer material becomes hard, and a fluid heat transfer material reduces its fluidity. In either form, there is a problem in that it is difficult to arrange the heat transfer material tightly along the surface shape of each component and reduce thermal resistance occurring at the interface.

[0008] Furthermore, when the heat transfer material is diluted with a solvent or the like to reduce its hardness during application, there is a concern that cavities may form in the heat transfer material when the solvent is removed after application, and there is also the issue that, depending on the location where the heat transfer material is installed, it may be difficult to remove the solvent by methods such as heating.

[0009] The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and aims to provide a thermally conductive polymer composition that has high thermal conductivity, low viscosity, excellent shape conformability, and high workability that does not require removal of the solvent during curing, a thermally conductive polymer composition-forming material, and a thermally conductive polymer obtained from the composition. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the thermally conductive polymer composition according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a liquid rubber having two or more hydroxyl groups per molecule, a solvent having one or more hydroxyl groups per molecule, a curing agent having two or more functional groups per molecule that can react with both the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent, and a filler.

[0011] According to the present invention, the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent are reacted with reactive functional groups contained in the curing agent to form chemical bonds, thereby incorporating the solvent component as a constituent material into the cured thermally conductive polymer. This allows the solvent component to maintain high pre-cure fluidity even when thermal conductivity is increased by increasing the filler content, which reduces pre-cure fluidity. This allows for the realization of a thermally conductive polymer composition that has high conformability to the surface of each component, excellent workability, and high thermal conductivity.

[0012] In the present invention, the filler may have a thermal conductivity of 10 W / (m·K) or more.

[0013] In the present invention, the liquid rubber may contain at least one of polybutadiene, polyisoprene, and polyolefin, each having a plurality of hydroxyl groups.

[0014] In the present invention, the solvent may contain at least one of n-butyl carbitol, glycerin, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, butyl glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and methyl tetraglycol.

[0015] In the present invention, the curing agent may be an isocyanate compound.

[0016] In the present invention, the thermally conductive polymer composition may further contain a tackifier.

[0017] The thermally conductive polymer composition forming material of the present invention is a thermally conductive polymer composition forming material for forming the thermally conductive polymer composition described in each of the above items, and is characterized in that it comprises Liquid A containing the liquid rubber and the solvent, and Liquid B containing the curing agent, and at least one of Liquid A and Liquid B further contains the filler.

[0018] The thermally conductive polymer of the present invention is a thermally conductive polymer obtained by curing the thermally conductive polymer composition described in each of the above items, and has a terminal group of -[(C2H4-O) m -C n H 2n+1 ] (where m and n are any natural numbers).

[0019] In the present invention, the thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive polymer may be 1.5 W / (m·K) or more. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a thermally conductive polymer composition that has high thermal conductivity, low viscosity, excellent shape conformability, and high workability that does not require removal of the solvent during curing, a thermally conductive polymer composition-forming material, and a thermally conductive polymer obtained from the composition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] Hereinafter, a thermally conductive polymer composition, a thermally conductive polymer composition-forming material, and a thermally conductive polymer obtained therefrom according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following embodiments are specifically described to provide a better understanding of the gist of the invention, and do not limit the present invention unless otherwise specified.

[0022] (Thermal Conductive Polymer Composition) The thermally conductive polymer composition of this embodiment contains a liquid rubber, a solvent, a curing agent, and a thermally conductive filler. Note that the thermally conductive polymer composition of this embodiment is in a state before curing (polymerization reaction).

[0023] The liquid rubber may be, for example, a liquid rubber that has fluidity at room temperature and has two or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) in one molecule in its composition formula, and the hydroxyl groups are preferably located at the terminals of the molecule. A part of the hydroxyl groups in such liquid rubber reacts with the functional groups of the curing agent to form chemical bonds when the thermally conductive polymer composition described below is cured.

[0024] Specific examples of liquid rubbers having two or more hydroxyl groups at the terminal groups per molecule include hydroxyl-containing polybutadiene, hydroxyl-containing polyisoprene, and hydroxyl-containing polyolefin. Among these, hydroxyl-containing polybutadiene is preferred because of its good filler loading. These hydroxyl groups may be at the terminals of the molecule. For example, hydroxyl group-containing polybutadienes may include the Poly bd (registered trademark) series (number of hydroxyl groups: 0.83 to 1.83 mol / kg, manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.), the G series (number of hydroxyl groups: 0.48 to 1.39 mol / kg, manufactured by Nippon Soda Co., Ltd.), and the Krasol LBH series (number of hydroxyl groups: undisclosed, manufactured by TOTAL CRAY VALLEY, Inc.). Additionally, hydroxyl group-containing polyisoprenes may include Poly ip (registered trademark) (number of hydroxyl groups: 0.83 mol / kg, manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.).

[0025] The number average molecular weight of the liquid rubber is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, in the range of 1,000 to 3,000. The hydroxyl value of the liquid rubber is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2.0. The viscosity of the liquid rubber is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, in the range of 1.0 to 1,000 Pa·s.

[0026] The solvent improves the plasticity of the thermally conductive polymer composition, and may have one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) in the composition formula per molecule. The hydroxyl groups may be located at the terminals of the molecules. The hydroxyl groups in such solvents react with the functional groups of the curing agent to form chemical bonds when the thermally conductive polymer composition described below is cured. The solvent preferably has a molecular weight of 50 to 450, a boiling point of 100 to 250°C, and a viscosity of 500 mPa·s or less (25°C). The solvent may be a polyhydric alcohol. The solvent may be compatible with the liquid rubber. The term "solvent compatible with the liquid rubber" refers to a liquid substance in which the liquid rubber and the solvent are mixed in any ratio, and after being left to stand for 10 minutes or more, the mixture remains mixed to such an extent that no phase separation can be visually confirmed.

[0027] Specific examples of solvents having one or more hydroxyl groups per molecule include n-butyl carbitol (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether), glycerin, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether, butyl glycol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and methyl tetraglycol.

[0028] The solvent contained in conventional thermally conductive polymer compositions is cured by volatilizing and removing the solvent, so the cured thermally conductive polymer contains almost no solvent components. In contrast, the solvent contained in the thermally conductive polymer composition of this embodiment forms a chemical bond with the liquid rubber through the curing agent during curing, becoming part of the thermally conductive polymer's structure. In other words, the thermally conductive polymer has solvent-curing agent-liquid rubber bonds. Furthermore, since the curing agent bonds with other solvents and with other liquid polymers, it also has solvent-curing agent-solvent and liquid rubber-curing agent-liquid rubber bonds. Furthermore, a multifunctional curing agent is even more desirable, as it results in multiple bonds between the solvent and the liquid polymer via the curing agent.

[0029] For the reasons mentioned above, it is not necessary to use a highly volatile low-boiling solvent, and solvents with a wide boiling range, from low-boiling to high-boiling solvents, can be used depending on the application. In particular, medium-boiling or high-boiling solvents are preferred for ease of application of the thermally conductive polymer composition. Specifically, the boiling point of the solvent is preferably 100°C or higher, more preferably 150°C or higher, and even more preferably 180°C or higher.

[0030] An appropriate content ratio of the solvent to the liquid rubber may be, for example, in the range of 50 to 600 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the liquid rubber. By setting the content ratio of the solvent to the liquid rubber within this range, the fluidity of the thermally conductive polymer composition during application can be ensured, improving workability, and preventing inhibition of curing of the liquid rubber component. The appropriate ratio of the solvent to the liquid rubber is preferably in the range of 100 parts by mass or more and 300 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the liquid rubber.

[0031] The curing agent may have two or more functional groups per molecule that can react with both the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber and the hydroxyl groups in the solvent molecule. The curing agent of this embodiment may be one that chemically bonds with both the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent. It is preferable that the multiple hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber are located at the ends of the molecule.

[0032] Specific examples of the curing agent having two or more functional groups that react with hydroxyl groups in one molecule include isocyanate compounds, acid anhydrides, carboxylic acids, and amines. The method for curing the thermally conductive polymer composition using such a curing agent is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a curing method in which a polymerization reaction proceeds when left at room temperature, and a method in which the reaction rate is increased by heating to promote curing.

[0033] The appropriate content ratio of the curing agent to the liquid rubber is, for example, in the range of 50 to 400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the liquid rubber. By setting the content ratio of the curing agent to the liquid rubber within this range, the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent can be sufficiently polymerized to form a thermally conductive polymer with appropriate hardness, and it is possible to prevent excessive hardness and increased brittleness. The content of the curing agent in the liquid rubber is preferably 50 parts by mass or more and 360 parts by mass or less, and more preferably 90 parts by mass or more and 200 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the liquid rubber.

[0034] Fillers enhance the thermal conductivity of the cured thermally conductive polymer and can be metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides, metal nitrides, or carbon. Metals include gold (319), silver (428), copper (403), aluminum (236), tungsten (177), titanium (22), nickel (94), iron (84), and alloys of two or more of these metals. The values ​​in parentheses for the above metals are examples of thermal conductivities expressed in units of W / (m·K). The thermal conductivities of these metals are 10 W / (m·K) or higher.

[0035] Examples of metal oxides for the filler include aluminum oxide (20-35), magnesium oxide (45-60), beryllium oxide (272), zinc oxide (54), silicon oxide (2), and titanium oxide (8). Examples of metal hydroxides include aluminum hydroxide. Examples of metal nitrides include aluminum nitride (150-250), boron nitride (30-50), and silicon nitride (20-90). The values ​​in parentheses for the oxides above are thermal conductivities expressed in units of W / (m K).

[0036] Examples of carbon include graphite (100), carbon fiber (94-149), fullerene (C60: 0.4), graphene (3000-5300), and carbon nanotubes (multi-layer: 650-830). The values ​​in parentheses for the carbons listed above are thermal conductivities expressed in units of W / (m K).

[0037] Among these, aluminum oxide is particularly preferable as a filler constituent material because it is inexpensive and easily available. Furthermore, among these metal oxides, metal hydroxides, and carbon, the thermal conductivity of materials other than silicon oxide, titanium oxide, and fullerene is 10 W / (m K) or more. The thermal conductivity of materials other than fullerene is 2 W / (m K) or more.

[0038] The filler preferably contains one or more of the above-mentioned example materials, more preferably contains one or more of metal oxides, metal hydroxides, and metal nitrides, and particularly preferably contains aluminum oxide.

[0039] The filler may have any shape as long as it is particulate, and from the viewpoint of imparting excellent shape conformability and high thermal conductivity after curing to the thermally conductive elastomer composition, it is preferable to use spherical particles, disk-shaped particles, or rounded particles with few corners (rounded particles).

[0040] The particle size distribution of the filler may have multiple peaks to ensure both filling properties and processability. Therefore, the filler may contain multiple types of filler particles with different average particle diameters (d50) (analysis method: laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measurement, measurement device: particle size distribution measurement device Microtrac MT3300EX II), measurement conditions: US dispersion with sodium hexametaphosphate for 1 minute). When the filler contains two types of filler particles with different average particle diameters (d50), it is preferable that, for example, the peak on the smaller particle diameter side is in the range of 0.3 μm to 10 μm, and the peak on the larger particle diameter side is in the range of 20 μm to 100 μm.

[0041] In addition to the liquid rubber, solvent, curing agent, and filler described above, the thermally conductive polymer composition of this embodiment may further contain a lubricant, an antioxidant, a flame retardant, a tackifier, etc. For example, by further adding a flame retardant, the composition can be used as a flame-retardant heat transfer member between the battery cell and the exterior case (heat sink) of a lithium-ion secondary battery.

[0042] According to the thermally conductive polymer composition of this embodiment, the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent are chemically bonded to the functional groups in the curing agent through a polymerization reaction, and the composition is cured. As a result, the solvent component is incorporated into the cured thermally conductive polymer as a constituent material. As a result, even if the thermal conductivity is increased by increasing the filler content, which causes the hardness to increase, the hardness is kept low by the solvent component. Therefore, a thermally conductive polymer composition with high shape conformability, excellent workability, and high thermal conductivity can be realized. The thermally conductive polymer of this embodiment may be a thermally conductive polymer composition that has a thermal conductivity of 1.5 W / (m·K) or more after curing.

[0043] (Thermal conductive polymer composition forming material) The thermally conductive polymer composition forming material of this embodiment is a two-liquid mixed type thermally conductive polymer material for forming the above-mentioned thermally conductive polymer composition, and includes Liquid A containing the above-mentioned liquid rubber and solvent, and Liquid B containing a curing agent. Furthermore, at least one or both of Liquid A and Liquid B further contains a filler. It should be noted that liquid A and liquid B have approximately the same density as long as the filler loading amount is up to 2000 parts by mass.

[0044] When used, the thermally conductive polymer composition forming material of this embodiment is cured by mixing liquid A and liquid B, whereby the hydroxyl groups of the liquid rubber in liquid A and the hydroxyl groups of the solvent come into contact with the curing agent contained in liquid B and form a chemical bond. As an application method, for example, a method can be used in which equal volumes of liquid A and liquid B are dispensed using a two-liquid mixing dispenser and then mixed to form a thermally conductive polymer composition, which can then be applied directly to the surface of a member on which the thermally conductive polymer is to be provided.

[0045] Thus, according to the thermally conductive polymer composition forming material of the present embodiment, by separating liquid A containing the liquid rubber and the solvent from liquid B containing the curing agent, liquid A and liquid B can be mixed at any time to harden them to form a thermally conductive polymer, and a thermally conductive polymer composition forming material with excellent storage stability can be realized.

[0046] (thermally conductive polymer) The thermally conductive polymer of this embodiment can be obtained by curing the thermally conductive polymer composition described above. Such a thermally conductive polymer can be obtained by curing the thermally conductive polymer composition described above. For example, the thermally conductive polymer can be obtained by curing the thermally conductive polymer composition having a terminal group of -[(C2H4-O) m -C n H 2n+1 ]

[0047] Thermally conductive polymers obtained by curing a thermally conductive polymer composition have improved adhesion to components, for example, by suppressing cohesive failure due to the polymerization of liquid rubber through urethane bonds.The thermal conductivity of such thermally conductive polymers, measured by the steady-state method, is, for example, in the range of 1 W / (m K) or more and 5 W / (m K) or less.

[0048] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, this embodiment is presented as an example and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. This embodiment can be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. This embodiment and its modifications are included within the scope and spirit of the invention, as well as within the scope of the invention and its equivalents as defined in the claims. [Example]

[0049] The following thermally conductive polymer compositions were prepared by mixing equal volumes of liquid A and liquid B of the thermally conductive polymer composition forming materials of Examples 1 to 6 of the present invention and Comparative Example 1, which were prepared as samples. These compositions were then cured to obtain thermally conductive polymers. The specific gravities of liquid A and liquid B were almost the same depending on the composition, and were 3 g / cm. 3 The thermal conductivity of each thermally conductive polymer was then measured. The thermal conductivity was measured using a resin material thermal resistance measuring device (manufactured by Hitachi Technology and Services Co., Ltd.) conforming to ASTM D5470, using the unidirectional steady-state heat flow method (SCHF, sample temperature 50°C).
