With developments of the electronics industry, more components are being included in electronic devices, which has led to challenges in thermal management. Using reduced graphene oxide embedded with MQ silicone resin (RGO/MQ) nano-aggregates as the composite filler and silicone rubber (SR) as the matrix, a simple approach is designed to prepare RGO/MQ/SR composites. Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was first used as a substrate for the growth of MQ silicone resin by hybridization, forming sandwich-like micro structured RGO/MQ nano-aggregates successfully. Then, RGO/MQ was integrated into α,ω-dihydroxylpolydimethylsiloxane based on the in situ solvent-free blending method, followed by condensation and vulcanization, fabricating the final RGO/MQ/SR composites. The effective strategy could enhance the adaptability between graphene and silicone matrix under external stimuli at room temperature by embedding nanoscale MQ into the interface of graphene/silicone as the buffer layer. Obvious improvements were found in both thermal conductivity and mechanical properties due to excellent dispersion and interfacial compatibility of RGO/MQ in the host materials. These attractive results suggest that this RGO/MQ/SR composite has potential as a thermal interface material for heat dissipation applications.

Graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by modified Hummer’s method and it reduced with hydrazine. Synthesized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. An elastomeric nanocomposite was prepared by incorporating rGO in silicone rubber using two roll mill mixing method.Tribological study was conducted at a wear surface of hardened ground steel against different applied load, sliding speed and temperature using a pin on disk setup. Addition of rGO results in an improvement of mechanical, tribological and thermal properties of silicone rubber. The coefficient friction (COF) and specific wear rate of the nanocomposite decreased with rGO concentration, applied load, and temperature. Morphological analysis of SRrGO nanocomposites was deeply investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Worn surface analysis confirms that rGO forms a lubricant film on the counter surface but it fails to form a strong adhesive film on the metal surface. The depth wear rate decreased by the incorporation of rGO in the Silicone rubber (SR) matrix.

<p>Silicone rubber filled with low amounts of thermally<br />reduced graphene oxide exhibit non-linear conductivity<br />with exposed to increased electric fields. Such material<br />can be interesting as electric field grading material in<br />HVDC cable accessories. In this study graphene oxide<br />was thermally reduced (rGO) at 120 and 180 °C during<br />12 hours in a hot air oven. The reduction was confirmed<br />by TGA and FTIR. 3 wt.% rGO was then dispersed in a<br />silicone rubber matrix and homogenous dispersion was<br />demonstrated by the scanning electron microscopy. The<br />rGO-filled silicone rubber (120 and 180 °C reduced)<br />exhibited a non-linear resistivity when exposed to an<br />increasing electric (DC) field. The conductivity<br />decreased from 10^14 to 10^11 Ohm m when the electric<br />field increasing from 0.2 to 6 kV/mm. The onset of the<br />non-linear conduction occurred in the range of 1 – 2<br />kV/mm. The long-term stability of the conductivity of<br />the silicone rubber composite was tested. After 47 days<br />ageing at 120 °C, therGO/silicone rubber composite<br />exhibited a slight increase in the onset of non-linear<br />conduction, as well as a minor increase in resistivity.</p>
