Description

Thermal interface material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of heat conduction materials, and particularly relates to a thermal interface material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the miniaturization and high integration of electronic devices, the packing density of electronic components continues to increase, providing powerful usage functions, while also leading to a dramatic increase in the operating power consumption and heat generation thereof. CPU failures due to overheating account for up to 55% of the total number of CPU failures. Even for a single communication device or electronic component, the reliability is reduced by 50% for every 10 ℃ increase in operating temperature. Therefore, in order to ensure high reliability while the device exhibits optimum performance, it is necessary to ensure that the heat generated by the heat-generating electronic component can be dissipated in a timely manner. Heat dissipation has become the most critical issue and technical bottleneck that limits the lifetime and performance of electronic devices.
The thermal interface material is also called interface heat conduction material, is a material commonly used for IC packaging and electronic heat dissipation, is mainly used for filling up micro-gaps and holes with uneven surfaces generated when two materials are jointed or contacted, improves the heat dissipation performance of devices, and is considered as an important material for solving the heat dissipation problem of electronic devices. The polymer-based thermal interface material is mainly composed of a polymer and a high thermal conductive inorganic filler. The thermal interface material has the advantages of strong cohesiveness, low price and strong operation performance, and becomes the first choice of the thermal interface material. However, the thermal conductivity of the currently developed polymer-based thermal interface materials is lower than 5W/m · K, mainly because the thermal conductivity of the filler itself is too low and the interfacial thermal resistance between the filler and the polymer matrix is large.
The boron nitride has good thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and has good application prospect when being used as a heat-conducting filler of a heat-conducting and insulating polymer composite material. In recent years, nanotubes have received a great deal of attention from scientists and industry. The theoretical value of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the boron nitride nanotube parallel to the tube axis direction can reach 6600W/m.K, and the experimental value is 200-300W/m.K.
Boron nitride nanotubes are used as fillers to be added into various polymer matrixes by the journal of hong Kong City university, and the like, and the change of the thermal conductivity coefficient of the boron nitride nanotubes is contrastingly researched. The results show that the thermal conductivity of the polymer composite material is remarkably improved after the boron nitride nanotubes are doped, particularly the thermal conductivity of the material is improved by more than 20 times after 35 vol% of the boron nitride nanotubes are doped into polystyrene, but the thermal conductivity is still less than 5W/m.K. CN 107779153A discloses a high-thermal-conductivity flame-retardant epoxy resin pouring sealant and a preparation method thereof, wherein the thermal conductivity of the pouring sealant is improved by adding boron nitride nanotubes or boron nitride nanosheets into epoxy resin, but the thermal conductivity of the pouring sealant is below 5W/m.K.
Therefore, how to prepare the polymer thermal interface material with the thermal conductivity larger than 5W/m.K by utilizing the self-high thermal conductivity of the boron nitride nanotube is still a great challenge.

The difference from example 6 is that boron nitride particles having an average particle diameter of 2 μm are used in place of the boron nitride nanotubes; other conditions were the same as in example 6.
Comparative example 2
The difference from the embodiment 6 is that the boron nitride nanotube is not modified, and the boron nitride nanotube is directly used for replacing the modified boron nitride nanotube; other conditions were the same as in example 6.
Comparative example 3
The difference from the example 6 is that in the modified boron nitride nanotube, the mass ratio of the nano cellulose fiber to the boron nitride nanotube is 10%; other conditions were the same as in example 6;
the preparation method of the modified boron nitride nanotube of comparative example 3 is as follows:
mixing a boron nitride nanotube with a 1mg/mL nano-cellulose fiber aqueous solution (the mass ratio of nano-cellulose fibers to the boron nitride nanotube is 10%), ultrasonically dispersing for 3h, filtering, and drying the obtained solid at 50 ℃ for 12 h.
The thermal conductivity of the thermal interface materials provided in examples 1-8 and comparative examples 1-3 was measured according to ASTM E1461-2013 (test method for measuring thermal diffusivity of solid by flash method), and the results are shown in Table 1 below:

Example 4 8.13

As is clear from the results in Table 1, the present invention utilizes the non-covalent functionalization modification of boron nitride nanotubes with nanocellulose fibers to achieve a thermal conductivity of 5-10W/m.K for the resulting thermal interface material. When boron nitride particles are used instead of boron nitride nanotubes (comparative example 1), it is difficult to form a heat conductive network, and thus the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material is greatly reduced. When the boron nitride nanotube is not modified by adopting the nano cellulose fiber (comparative example 2), the dispersibility of the boron nitride nanotube in the matrix resin is reduced, the boron nitride nanotube is easy to agglomerate, the formation of a heat conduction network is not facilitated, and the heat conductivity coefficient of the thermal interface material is reduced; when the content of the nanocellulose fiber is excessive (comparative example 3), the water absorption of the modified boron nitride nanotube is increased, the stability of the epoxy resin is reduced, the pores of the thermal interface material are increased, and the thermal conductivity is also reduced.
The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
