The invention relates to the field of graphene materials, in particular to a high-dispersion graphene heat-conducting master batch and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The mainstream heat conduction material in the market still mainly comprises aluminum and copper metal or alloy, but the heat conduction coefficient is lower, generally in the range of 300 plus 500W/m.K, and the current graphene and the product thereof have the characteristics of more excellent heat conduction performance and light weight compared with the heat conduction material mainly comprising the traditional aluminum and copper metal or alloy, have huge application prospects in the fields of heat dissipation of rubber tires, heat dissipation of electronic components such as L ED lamp covers and the like, and attract attention and do not break the application.
Graphene is a planar carbon nanomaterial consisting of a layer of carbon atoms, the thinnest two-dimensional material currently known, with a thickness of only 0.335nm, consisting of a hexagonal lattice. Graphene is the thinnest, hardest nanomaterial known to the world, and it is almost completely transparent, absorbing only 2.3% of light; the heat conductivity coefficient is as high as 5300W/m.K, higher than that of carbon nano tube and diamond, and its electron mobility is over 15000cm at normal temp2V.s, higher than carbon nanotube or silicon crystal, and a resistivity of only about 10-6Omega cm, lower than copper or silver, is the material with the smallest resistivity in the world. Because of its extremely low resistivity and high electron transfer rate, it is expected to be used for the development of a new generation of thinner and higher-conduction electronic devices or transistors. However, in practical applications, graphene has a plurality of problems and restriction factors, and the easy agglomeration of graphene is a main obstacle for the research and application of graphene.
Graphene cannot be stably present in a single layer due to strong van der waals interaction force, thermal conductivity of graphene is sharply reduced once the graphene is agglomerated and stacked, and graphene layers are difficult to open once the graphene is stacked, so that re-peeling is required. At present, the dispersibility of graphene is improved through a dispersant, but the conventional dispersant and dispersing means are difficult to achieve the dispersing effect because the graphene is different from common inorganic powder.
Chinese patent application No. 201410042709.8 discloses a graphene modified polypropylene master batch and a preparation method thereof, wherein polypropylene particles are subjected to static graphene dry powder spraying modification, then the modified polypropylene particles and additive components are uniformly mixed and then are fed into a double-screw extruder for melting and mixing, and finally the mixture is extruded through a die head for granulation. According to the invention, the graphene dispersibility is improved by directly performing electrostatic treatment on the graphene dry powder, but the graphene is used as a raw material, so that the raw material cost is increased, and the uniformity of the graphene covering polypropylene particles is reduced along with the consumption of electrostatic charge transfer, so that the later-stage graphene is unevenly distributed in the master batch, and the yield is low.
The invention discloses a resin/graphene conductive plastic master batch and a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the resin/graphene conductive plastic master batch is prepared by heating water, a resin/graphite conductive master batch, a physical foaming agent and an isolating agent in an autoclave and then quickly discharging the heated resin/graphite conductive master batch at low pressure, so that the resin/graphene conductive plastic foaming master batch prepared by an explosion stripping method is obtained. According to the method, graphite is used as a raw material, the problem that graphene is not easy to disperse is solved, and the graphite sheet is peeled off when the graphene permeates into the graphite sheet and expands under the condition of sudden pressure release by utilizing the dissolving capacity of the supercritical physical foaming agent. But the blasting strength is not easy to master, the quality of the obtained graphene is difficult to guarantee, and potential safety hazards exist in the operation process.
Therefore, in order to improve the dispersibility of graphene in the production, processing and use processes, a preparation scheme which can effectively solve the problem that graphene is easy to agglomerate and improve the uniform dispersibility of graphene in a master batch is needed, and the excellent heat-conducting property of graphene can be further better exerted.
