Polymer composites with carbon nanofillers have been regarded as a promising candidate for electronic package materials. The challenge for such materials is to increase the electrical and thermal conductivity of the composites. Herein, we reported an epoxy composite film with high thermal and electrical conductivity that were prepared by loading high volume fraction of well-dispersed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs, around 50 nm in diameter, 1-10 µm in length) and copper nanowires (Cu NWs, 60-70 nm in diameter, 1-5 µm in length) in epoxy matrix. The MWCNT-Cu NW hybrid mats were prepared by a vacuum filtration method with an optimum Cu NW content of 50 wt%. The hybrid mats was then impregnated by epoxy solution to prepare epoxy composite films. The epoxy was modified by the toughening agent to make the composite films tough and flexible. The loading fraction of MWCNTs and Cu NWs was tuned by controlling the viscosity of epoxy solution. A remarkable synergetic effect between the MWCNTs and Cu NWs in improving the electrical and thermal conductivity of epoxy composites was demonstrated. The results showed that the electrical conductivity of nanocomposites with 42.5 wt% epoxy was 1500 S/m, and the thermal conductivity was 2.83 W/m K, which was 10.1 times of the neat epoxy. Its thermal resistance was as low as 1% of the pure epoxy. And the mechanical properties of composites were also investigated. These robust and flexible nanocomposites showed prospective applications as thermal interface materials (TIMs) in the electronic industry.
含碳纳米填料的聚合物复合材料被视为电子封装材料的一个有前途的候选材料。这类材料面临的挑战是提高复合材料的电导率和热导率。在此,我们报道了一种具有高导热性和导电性的环氧复合薄膜,它是通过在环氧基体中负载高体积分数的均匀分散的多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs,直径约50nm,长度1 - 10μm)和铜纳米线(Cu NWs,直径60 - 70nm,长度1 - 5μm)制备而成。MWCNT - Cu NW混合垫通过真空过滤法制备,最佳Cu NW含量为50wt%。然后将混合垫用环氧溶液浸渍以制备环氧复合薄膜。通过增韧剂对环氧树脂进行改性,使复合薄膜坚韧且柔韧。通过控制环氧溶液的粘度来调整MWCNTs和Cu NWs的负载分数。MWCNTs和Cu NWs在提高环氧复合材料的电导率和热导率方面表现出显著的协同效应。结果表明,含42.5wt%环氧树脂的纳米复合材料的电导率为1500S/m,热导率为2.83W/m·K,是纯环氧树脂的10.1倍。其热阻低至纯环氧树脂的1%。同时还研究了复合材料的力学性能。这些坚固且柔韧的纳米复合材料在电子工业中作为热界面材料(TIMs)显示出潜在的应用前景。
