  • a heat dissipating member of the present invention includes: a porous base material containing a fluorine resin and a thermally-conductive filler; and an oil contained in pores of the porous base material.
  • High oil resistance is imparted to the heat dissipating member of the present invention by the use of the porous base material containing the fluorine resin.

  • the shape of the thermally-conductive filler is not particularly limited, and spherical fillers or non-spherical fillers can be used. Platy fillers or flaky fillers are preferable, since anisotropic thermal conductivity can be imparted by performing rolling and thus aligning the fillers in an in-plane direction. Also, for similar reasons, the thermally-conductive filler itself preferably has anisotropic thermal conductivity. In addition, when it is attempted to increase the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction, any of thermally-conductive filler aggregates sold by various manufacturers may be used.

  • the particle diameter is preferably 0.2 to 500 ⁇ m, and more preferably 0.2 to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the thermally-conductive filler preferably has a large particle diameter in order to increase the thermal conductivity. This is because, when equal contents of thermally-conductive fillers having different particle diameters are compared, the thermally-conductive filler having a larger particle diameter forms a smaller number of interfaces, and allows lower thermal resistance.

  • the heat dissipating member of the present invention is suitably produced by a method including the steps of: (1) stacking and rolling together a plurality of sheet-shaped formed bodies each containing a PTFE-containing fluorine resin, a thermally-conductive filler, and a molding aid, so as to obtain a rolled laminated sheet; (2) removing the molding aid from the obtained rolled laminated sheet to obtain a porous base material; and (3) impregnating the obtained porous base material with an oil.
  • the plurality of sheet-shaped formed bodies used in the step (1) which include a PTFE-containing fluorine resin, a thermally-conductive filler, and a molding aid, can each be obtained as follows: a mixture in the form of a paste is first prepared by mixing the PTFE-containing fluorine resin, the thermally-conductive filler, and the molding aid; and the mixture is formed into a sheet.
  • the PTFE-containing fluorine resin, the thermally-conductive filler, and the molding aid are desirably mixed under such conditions that fibrillization of PTFE is suppressed as much as possible.
  • mixing is desirably performed without kneading, in a short time, by a mixing apparatus whose rotational speed is set low so as not to apply shear force to PTFE. If the fibrillization of PTFE occurs at the time of mixing of the materials, there is a risk that the previously-formed fibers of PTFE are cut during rolling, and the network structure of PTFE is broken. This may lead to difficulty in maintaining a sheet shape.
  • a saturated hydrocarbon such as dodecane and decane can be used as the molding aid.
  • the molding aid may be added in an amount of 20 to 55% by mass relative to the total mass of the mixture.
  • the sheet-shaped formed body can be obtained by forming the mixture of the above materials into a sheet by extrusion molding, roll forming, or the like.
  • the thickness of the sheet-shaped formed body is, for example, 0.5 to 5 mm. A plurality of such sheet-shaped formed bodies are prepared.
  • the plurality of sheet-shaped formed bodies are stacked (laminated) and rolled together to obtain a rolled laminated sheet.
  • the number of the sheet-shaped formed bodies used only needs to be two or more, and is not particularly limited.
  • the number of the sheet-shaped formed bodies may be determined as appropriate in consideration of the number of sheet-shaped formed body layers constituting the finally-obtained rolled laminated sheet serving as the porous base material.
  • the number of the sheet-shaped formed bodies is about 2 to 10.

The lamination and rolling improve the sheet strength, and also allow the thermally-conductive filler to be firmly fixed in the fluorine resin matrix. Therefore, a sheet containing a high proportion of the thermally-conductive filler and having flexibility can be fabricated.
  • the step (1) is preferably followed by an additional step (1′) of stacking and rolling together a plurality of rolled laminated sheets constituted by the sheet-shaped formed bodies, or stacking and rolling together at least one rolled laminated sheet constituted by the sheet-shaped formed bodies and at least one sheet-shaped formed body containing the fluorine resin, the thermally-conductive filler, and the molding aid.

  • the sheet-shaped formed bodies and the rolled laminated sheets constituted by the sheet-shaped formed bodies are desirably rolled two by two.
  • step (1) a plurality of (e.g., 2 to 10) sheet-shaped formed bodies are prepared.
  • step (1) the plurality of sheet-shaped formed bodies are laminated, and the laminated body is rolled to obtain a rolled laminated sheet (first rolled laminated sheet) (step (1)).
  • step (1) A plurality of (e.g., 2 to 10) first rolled laminated sheets obtained as above are prepared and laminated, and the laminated body is rolled to obtain a rolled laminated sheet (second rolled laminated sheet) (step (1′).
  • a plurality of (e.g., 2 to 10) second rolled laminated sheets obtained as above are prepared and laminated, and the laminated body is rolled to obtain a rolled laminated sheet (third rolled laminated sheet) (repetition of step (1′)). Furthermore, a plurality of third rolled laminated sheets are prepared, and are laminated and rolled in the same manner. The step (1′) is repeated until the number of sheet-shaped formed body layers reaches the number of constituent layers included in a rolled laminated material serving as the intended porous base material.
  • rolled laminated sheets e.g., the first rolled laminated sheets or the second rolled laminated sheets having the same number of the laminated sheet-shaped formed bodies are stacked and rolled together.
  • step (1′) of another embodiment rolled laminated sheets having different numbers of the laminated sheet-shaped formed bodies are stacked and rolled together.
  • step (1′) of still another embodiment the rolled laminated sheet and the sheet-shaped formed body are stacked and rolled together.
  • the rolling direction in the step (1) and the rolling direction in the step (1′) are preferably orthogonal to each other. Furthermore, in repetition of the step (1′), the rolling direction is preferably changed (changed by 90° in particular). By performing rolling with changing direction in this manner, the network of PTFE is stretched longitudinally and laterally. Consequently, the sheet strength can further be improved, and the thermally-conductive filler can more firmly be fixed in the fluorine resin matrix.
  • the number of constituent layers of the finally-obtained rolled laminated sheet serving as the porous base material is represented by the number of the sheet-shaped formed body layers included in the rolled laminated sheet
  • the number of constituent layers can be, for example, 2 to 5000.

  • the step (3) can be performed, for example, by immersing the porous base material in an oil.
  • the step (3) is preferably performed by immersing the porous base material in an oil after removing air from the pores of the porous base material, and then by pressurizing the oil.
