Definitions
- This disclosure relates to boron nitride powder and a method for producing boron nitride powder.
- Boron nitride powder has lubricity, high thermal conductivity, and insulating properties, and studies are being conducted to adjust the properties of boron nitride to suit a wide range of applications, such as solid lubricants, thermally conductive fillers, and insulating fillers.
- the use of boron nitride powder as a filler in heat dissipation components that require thermal conductivity is also being considered.
- primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride which has excellent crystallinity, have a relatively thin, flaky shape. Therefore, when filled into resin and molded, the primary particles tend to be oriented in a certain direction in the resin due to molding pressure, etc.
- the major surface of the resin sheet and the major axis of the primary particles of boron nitride are generally oriented so as to be parallel.
- the primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride can have anisotropy in various physical properties due to the anisotropy of the shape.
- the thermal conductivity of the primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride in the in-plane direction is high at about 400 W/(m ⁇ K), while the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction (c-axis direction) is only about 2 W/(m ⁇ K), and the anisotropy of the physical properties due to that direction is significant.
- hexagonal boron nitride powder is used as a filler for resin, and when preparing a heat dissipation sheet, the orientation direction is adjusted so that the a-axis direction of the primary particles is parallel to the thickness direction of the heat dissipation sheet, thereby making use of the high thermal conductivity in the a-axis direction of the primary particles.
- a technique is known in which the a-axis direction of the primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride is oriented so that it is parallel to the thickness direction of the heat dissipation sheet (for example, Patent Document 1, etc.).
- Patent Document 2 discloses spherical boron nitride agglomerated particles formed by aggregating boron nitride primary particles, and describes how the strength of the agglomerated particles is increased to a degree that prevents the agglomerated particles from collapsing even when a certain molding pressure is applied, thereby preventing the boron nitride primary particles from being aligned and oriented in the same direction.
- the spherical boron nitride agglomerated particles described above are secondary particles formed by aggregating multiple primary particles such that the a-axes of each of the primary particles are randomly oriented. This reduces anisotropy, but also makes the heat dissipation direction isotropic, meaning that the high thermal conductivity of the hexagonal boron nitride primary particles in the in-plane direction (a-axis direction) cannot be fully utilized.
- agglomerated particles formed by agglomerating primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride as a heat dissipation filler, there is still room for improvement in terms of improving heat dissipation along the thickness direction of the resin sheet.

- Such boron nitride powder can be used as a filler in resin to produce a heat dissipation sheet with superior thermal conductivity in the thickness direction.
- One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for producing boron nitride powder, comprising mixing a raw material powder composed of primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride with a compound having an alkoxysilyl group, and heat-treating the mixture to form aggregated particles containing a plurality of the primary particles.

- the raw material powder may not contain a sintering aid for hexagonal boron nitride.
- the raw material powder can be prepared, for example, by applying a method of firing a mixture of a boron compound such as boric acid and a nitrogen-containing compound such as melamine (particularly when boric acid and melamine are used, this is also called the borate-melamine method).

- the calcination time may be, for example, 0.5 to 5 hours, or 1 to 4 hours.
- the calcined product obtained by calcination contains at least one selected from the group consisting of low-crystalline boron nitride and amorphous boron nitride, and may further contain hexagonal boron nitride.
- the calcination process allows the reaction of boron nitride to proceed at a lower temperature than the firing process described below.
- grain growth can be suppressed and the average grain size of the raw material powder can be reduced.

- the calcined product obtained as described above is blended with boric acid and an auxiliary agent and mixed to prepare a mixed powder, which is then fired.
- the raw material composition is sufficiently consumed while the production and crystallization of boron nitride proceeds. This makes it possible to increase the crystallinity of the boron nitride contained in the calcined product and form hexagonal boron nitride.

- the amount of carbon-containing raw materials such as melamine in the raw material composition By reducing the amount of carbon-containing raw materials such as melamine in the raw material composition, the quality of the obtained raw material powder can be further improved.
- the same tendency is also seen by extending the firing time. On the other hand, if the firing temperature is too high, the crystal growth of hexagonal boron nitride tends to proceed too far, making fine pulverization difficult. The same tendency is seen when the firing time is too long.
- the fired product obtained in the firing step may be pulverized using, for example, a pulverizer.
- a pulverizer for example, an impact pulverizer (pulverizer) or the like may be used.
