Abstract
Developing multifunctional materials with superior thermal conductivity and microwave absorption is an effective means to address the increasingly serious electromagnetic (EM) compatibility and heat dissipation problems in modern electron devices. Here, multifunctional MgO/Mg(OH)2/C, MgO/M/C (M = Co, Ni, Cu), and MgO/NOx/C (N = Fe, Mn) hybrid foams were synthesized using a facile one-step gas-bubble-assisted combustion method, and their texture, composition, and properties were regulated by tuning salt type and feeding ratio. Our results show that the MgO/Co/C foams have high thermal conductivity (3.40-4.09 W m-1 K-1) with a filler load of 20-50 wt% at the Co2+ molar content of φ = 70 mol% and excellent EM wave absorption (EABW = 11.44 GHz), with a thickness of 2.1 mm and a minimal reflection loss of -59.42 dB at φ = 90 mol%. The enhanced properties are ascribed to the construction of foams with 3D interconnected networks and the synergistic effect of magnetic Co, insulating MgO, and dielectric C, which provide a continuous pathway for electron/phonon relay transmission and magnetic/dielectric dual losses. Moreover, the MgO/Co/C foams possess strong mechanical/hydrophobicity performance, tunable magnetic properties, and electrical conductivity, and can be applied in self-cleaning, electromagnetic interference, and heat management. Overall, this study offers a novel understanding of preparing multifunctional heat conductive-EM wave absorptive foam materials in modern electronic devices.

[PMID: 37512377 PMCID: PMC10386388 DOI: 10.3390/ma16145102] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
Owing to the increasing demand for the miniaturization and integration of electronic devices, thermal interface materials (TIMs) are crucial components for removing heat and improving the lifetime and safety of electronic devices. Among these, thermal pads are reusable alternatives to thermal paste-type TIMs; however, conventional thermal pads comprise a homogeneous polymer with low thermal conductivity. Composite materials of thermally conducting fillers and polymer matrices are considered suitable alternatives to high-performance pad materials owing to their controllable thermal properties. However, they degrade the thermal performance of the filler materials at high loading ratios via aggregation. In this study, we propose novel nanocomposites using densely aligned MgO nanowire fillers and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrices. The developed nanocomposites ensured the enhanced thermal conducting properties, while maintaining mechanical flexibility. The three-step preparation process involves the (i) fabrication of the MgO structure using a freeze dryer; (ii) compression of the MgO structure; and (iii) the infiltration of PDMS in the structure. The resulting aligned composites exhibited a superior thermal conductivity (approximately 1.18 W m-1K-1) to that of pure PDMS and composites with the same filler ratios of randomly distributed MgO fillers. Additionally, the MgO/PDMS composites exhibited adequate electrical insulating properties, with a room-temperature resistivity of 7.92 × 1015 Ω∙cm.

Abstract
The formation of highly thermally conductive composites with a three-dimensional (3D) oriented structure has become an important means to solve the heat dissipation problem of electronic components. In this paper, a carbon fiber (CF) felt with a 3D network structure was constructed through the airflow netting forming technology and needle punching. The carbon fiber/phenolic composites were then fabricated by CF felt and phenolic resin through vacuum impregnation and compression molding. The effects of CF felt content and porosity on the thermal conductivity of carbon fiber/phenolic composites were investigated. The enhancement of carbon skeleton content promotes the conduction of heat inside the composites, and the decrease of porosity also significantly improves the thermal conductivity of the composites. The results indicate that the composites exhibit a maximum in-plane thermal conductivity of 1.3 W/mK, which is about 650% that of pure phenolic resin, showing that the construction of 3D thermal network structure is conducive to the reinforcement of thermal conductivity of composites. The method can provide a certain theoretical basis for constructing a thermally conductive composite with a three-dimensional structure.

Abstract
Enhancing thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) of liquid crystal polyesters would further widen their application in electronics and electricals. In this work, a kind of biphenyl-based dihydroxy monomer is synthesized using 4, 4'-biphenyl (BP) and triethylene glycol (TEG) as raw material, which further reacts with three different dicarboxylic acids (succinic acid, p-phenylenediacetic acid, and terephthalic acid, respectively) by melt polycondensation to prepare intrinsically highly thermally conductive poly 4', 4”'-[1, 2-ethanediyl-bis(oxy-2, 1-ethanediyloxy)]-bis(p-hydroxybiphenyl) succinate (PEOS), poly 4', 4”'-[1, 2-ethanediyl-bis(oxy-2, 1-ethanediyloxy)]-bis(p-hydroxybiphenyl) p-phenyldiacetate (PEOP) and poly 4', 4”'-[1, 2-ethanediyl-bis(oxy-2, 1-ethanediyloxy)]-bis(p-hydroxybiphenyl) terephthalate (PEOT), collectively called biphenyl-based liquid crystal polyesters (B-LCPE). The results show that B-LCPE possess the desired molecular structure, exhibit smectic phase in liquid crystal range and semicrystalline polymers at room temperature, and possess excellent intrinsic thermal conductivities, thermal stabilities, and mechanical properties. λ of PEOT is 0.51 W/(m·K), significantly exceeds that of polyethylene terephthalate (0.15 W/(m·K)) which has similar molecular structure with PEOT, and also higher than that of PEOS (0.32 W/(m·K)) and PEOP (0.38 W/(m·K)). The corresponding heat resistance index (THRI), elasticity modulus, and hardness of PEOT are 174.6°C, 3.6 GPa, and 154.5 MPa, respectively, and also higher than those of PEOS (162.2°C, 1.8 GPa, and 83.4 MPa) and PEOP (171.8°C, 2.3 GPa, and 149.6 MPa).

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:2451. [PMID: 34372053 PMCID: PMC8348354 DOI: 10.3390/polym13152451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
To study the effect of hyperbranched polyester with different kinds of terminal groups on the thermomechanical and dielectric properties of silica-epoxy resin composite, a molecular dynamics simulation method was utilized. Pure epoxy resin and four groups of silica-epoxy resin composites were established, where the silica surface was hydrogenated, grafted with silane coupling agents, and grafted with hyperbranched polyester with terminal carboxyl and terminal hydroxyl, respectively. Then the thermal conductivity, glass transition temperature, elastic modulus, dielectric constant, free volume fraction, mean square displacement, hydrogen bonds, and binding energy of the five models were calculated. The results showed that the hyperbranched polyester significantly improved the thermomechanical and dielectric properties of the silica-epoxy composites compared with other surface treatments, and the terminal groups had an obvious effect on the enhancement effect. Among them, epoxy composite modified by the hyperbranched polyester with terminal carboxy exhibited the best thermomechanical properties and lowest dielectric constant. Our analysis of the microstructure found that the two systems grafted with hyperbranched polyester had a smaller free volume fraction (FFV) and mean square displacement (MSD), and the larger number of hydrogen bonds and greater binding energy, indicating that weaker strength of molecular segments motion and stronger interfacial bonding between silica and epoxy resin matrix were the reasons for the enhancement of the thermomechanical and dielectric properties.
