摘要
Two-dimensional low temperature expandable graphite (LTEG) has outstanding electrical and thermal properties, and can be used to enhance thermal conductivity of polymer composites. Al2O3 and two-dimensional LTEG were added into polyamide6 (PA6) resin to prepare composites with improved thermal conductivity and electrical insulation via the in-situ exfoliation of LTEG during a melt blending process. An optimal proportion of LTEG was used as part of the thermally conductive fillers to guarantee electrical insulation. LTEG flakes act as bridges between Al2O3 and promote thermally-conductive pathways, hence a higher thermal conductivity. The composite containing 5% of LTEG and 60% of Al2O3 reaches the thermal conductivity of 2.019 W/(m•K), which is 596.2% higher than that of the virgin PA6. Although incorporating LTEG deteriorates volume resistivity, decreasing by 2~3 orders of magnitude compared with that of PA6 resin, and the volume resistivity reveals that the resultant composites still exhibit high volume resistivity, which is in the range of 1012 to 1013 Ω•cm. © 2018, Editorial Board of Polymer Materials Science & Engineering.
