The invention discloses a preparation method of a heat-conducting
ethylene-propylene-
diene monomer rubber based on an interface crosslinking vertical penetrating network, which comprises the following steps: firstly, performing high-temperature
decomposition on
sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) to generate CO2 gas to pre-expand
hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN); then
sea squirt cellulose nanocrystals (TCNCs) prepared through a
sulfuric acid hydrolysis method are used for assisting intercalation stripping, hydroxylated
boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS-OH) are prepared through high-temperature
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment,
liquid metal is nanocrystallized through an
ultrasonic technology by means of the
metal-hydroxyl coordination effect, and the BNNS-OH /
liquid metal heat conduction filler is prepared.
Liquid metal is uniformly programmed on the surface of a BNNS-OH sheet layer to play a role of a heat conduction bridge, and further vacuum
filtration is carried out under the assistance of TCNCs to prepare the
boron nitride heat conduction film. An
epoxy group is grafted on an
ethylene propylene
diene monomer (EPDM) molecular chain through in-situ epoxidation, and on the basis of the idea of modular management of heat conduction and mechanical properties, covalent reaction of hydroxyl and the
epoxy group and non-covalent bridging effect of
liquid metal and the
epoxy group are utilized; the EPDM heat-conducting
composite material with a vertical penetrating orientation network is prepared by spreading and laminating a heat-conducting film and epoxidized EPDM and performing interface cross-linking
hot pressing, so that the contact area of
boron nitride and an EPDM matrix is effectively increased, the interface
thermal resistance is reduced, and a high-speed channel is provided for
phonon transmission. The preparation method is efficient, simple, convenient, adjustable in
mechanical property and heat-conducting property and capable of being used in the field of electronic device
heat management.
