Description

Heat-conducting microsphere, preparation method thereof and polymer composite material
Technical field:
the invention relates to the technical field of heat conducting materials, in particular to a heat conducting microsphere, a preparation method thereof and a polymer composite material.
The background technology is as follows:
with the development of microelectronic integration technology, microelectronic devices are increasingly highly integrated and often used under conditions of high power and high frequency, so that a large amount of heat is generated when the microelectronic devices are in operation, and if the heat is not timely dissipated, the microelectronic devices are damaged, and the service lives of the microelectronic devices are seriously affected.
The electronic packaging material is used for sealing protection, heat dissipation, shielding and the like of electronic components, and is a sealing body of an integrated circuit. Polymers are widely used in electronic packaging materials due to their light weight, ease of processing, low cost, and electrical insulation, but pure polymers have a thermal conductivity of about 0.1-0.3W/(m·k), which greatly limits their use in electronic packaging materials that require heat dissipation. At present, the heat conductivity of the polymer is generally improved by filling a large amount of filler with high heat conductivity and good insulation property in the polymer.
The morphology of the filler plays a critical role in the viscosity and flowability of the thermally conductive composite material when other influencing factors are the same. In the same manner, the spherical filler fills the composite with the lowest viscosity and the best flowability compared with other fillers with other shapes. At the same particle size, the spherical filler has a higher filling amount in the polymer because the specific surface area is smaller than that of the non-spherical filler, so the spherical heat-conducting filler is preferable in application.
Aluminum nitride and hexagonal boron nitride are widely used as filler materials for polymer encapsulation materials due to their high thermal conductivity and insulation. However, both aluminum nitride and platelet-shaped hexagonal boron nitride cause a significant increase in the viscosity of the polymer material at very small loadings, with a maximum loading in the polymer of about 50-60%, resulting in limited thermal conductivity enhancement of the polymer.
Patent CN114044681a discloses a boron nitride composite microsphere and a preparation method thereof, the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the boron nitride/alumina microsphere prepared by the method is 1.9-4.5W/(m·k), and the improvement of thermal conductivity of the polymer is limited, but the surface density of the boron nitride/alumina microsphere prepared by the method is high, so that in carbothermic reduction reaction, aluminum oxide in the microsphere is difficult to completely nitride, and the improvement of thermal conductivity of the polymer is limited.
The national institute of Miss and university's paper for preparation of epoxy resin based composite materials and study of heat conducting property discloses that spherical aluminum nitride with particle size of 100nm and hexagonal boron nitride with particle size of 1-3 μm are compounded and filled in epoxy resin, and although the compounded filler shows better heat conducting property than single filler in the composite material, the maximum filling amount of the compounded filler in the epoxy resin can only reach 40%, and the heat conductivity of the filled epoxy resin composite material is 1.1W/(m.K) at most, so that further improvement of the heat conductivity of the polymer material is necessary.
The invention comprises the following steps:
the invention aims to solve the technical problem that the existing heat conducting filler has limited improvement on the heat conducting performance of a polymer, and provides a heat conducting microsphere, a preparation method thereof and a polymer composite material.
In order to achieve the above object, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a thermally conductive microsphere comprising a first thermally conductive phase and a second thermally conductive phase; wherein the first heat conducting phase is boron nitride; the second thermally conductive phase is selected from aluminum nitride and/or silicon nitride.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the heat conductive microsphere, comprising the steps of:
(1) Uniformly mixing a surfactant, boron nitride and sol in water to obtain sol A; wherein the sol is selected from aluminum sol and/or silica sol;
(2) Mixing a dispersing agent with the sol A to obtain a suspension B;
(3) Dropwise adding the suspension B into an oily solvent to obtain a mixed system; then, the mixed system is dehydrated to obtain a precipitate C;
(4) The sediment C is sintered at low temperature in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, and then sintered at high temperature in a protective gas to obtain a precursor;
(5) And in a nitrogen atmosphere, mixing the precursor with graphite powder, and performing carbothermic reduction reaction to obtain the heat-conducting microsphere.
The third object of the present invention is to provide a polymer composite material, comprising a polymer matrix and a heat conductive filler, wherein the heat conductive filler comprises the heat conductive microsphere or the heat conductive microsphere prepared by the method.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: the filling amount of the heat-conducting microspheres in the polymer matrix can reach 70%, and a high-efficiency heat-conducting network can be constructed in the polymer matrix, so that the heat-conducting performance of the polymer is effectively improved.

In the step (1) of the invention, the proportion of the oxide and the boron nitride in the sol is controlled within a reasonable range, and the excessive use amount of the boron nitride can lead to the poor sphericity of the product heat-conducting microspheres and easy disintegration, so that the maximum filling amount of the product in a polymer matrix is reduced; preferably, the sol is calculated as oxide, and the weight ratio of the sol to the boron nitride is 1 (0.25-5); for example, it may be 1:0.25, 1:0.5, 1:0.75, 1:1, 1:1.25, 1:1.5, 1:1.75, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, 1:4, 1:4.5, 1:5, or any value in the range of any two ratios described above; preferably 1 (0.5-3).

The invention also provides a polymer composite material, which comprises a polymer matrix and a heat-conducting filler, wherein the heat-conducting filler is the heat-conducting microsphere or the heat-conducting microsphere prepared by the method.
Preferably, the polymer composite comprises 1 to 75wt% of the thermally conductive filler and 25 to 99wt% of the polymer matrix, based on the total weight of the polymer composite.

Mu.m, and the composite microsphere was packed with flaky boron nitride.
Examples 2 to 4 and comparative example 1
