The invention discloses a high-thermal-
conductivity self-adhesion thermal interface material and a preparation method thereof, and is characterized in that polylipoic acid (polyTA) formed by high-temperature
ring opening polymerization of
lipoic acid (LA) is used as a dynamic reversible
polymer matrix, the dynamic reversible
polymer matrix has the characteristics of recoverability, self-healing and adhesion due to the inherent dynamic property of disulfide bonds, a spherical thermal conductive filler is modified by a
polyphenol compound, and the high-thermal-
conductivity self-adhesion thermal interface material is prepared. Polyhydroxy functional groups are given, the
surface energy is reduced, meanwhile, certain
viscosity is achieved,
polyethylene glycol diacrylate is added to serve as a stabilizer,
ferric iron salt is evenly stirred and mixed, the reaction time is controlled, and a stable cross-linked network
system is constructed. Hydroxyl groups on the surface of the
polyphenol-decorated heat-conducting filler and carboxyl groups in polylipoic acid are subjected to
esterification reaction, and meanwhile, Fe < 3 + > and the carboxyl groups in the polylipoic acid form supramolecular coordination, so that uniform dispersion and stable bonding of the filler in a matrix are realized, the interface
thermal resistance is remarkably reduced, and a continuous heat-conducting passage is formed. The preparation method of the thermal interface material is simple in process, and the thermal interface material has high
thermal conductivity and self-adhesion, has soft elasticity and is suitable for various application fields needing efficient
thermal conduction and interface thermal management.
