Substantial Interest

Epoxy resin (EP) is one of the most famous thermoset materials. In general, because EP has a three-dimensional random network, it possesses thermal properties similar to those of a typical heat insulator. Recently, there has been substantial interest in controlling the network structure of EP to create new functionalities. Indeed, the modified EP, represented as liquid crystalline epoxy (LCE), is considered promising for producing novel functionalities, which cannot be obtained from conventional EPs, by replacing the random network structure with an oriented one. In this paper, we review the current progress in the field of LCEs and their application to highly thermally conductive composite materials.

This study measures the thermal conductivity of the MWNT/epoxy bulk composite material to enhance the heat transfer rates of the high power LED device. In this study, three different weight percentages (0.0 wt%, 0.3 wt% and 0.5 wt%) of MWNT/Epoxy composite and five different heat generating rates were employed for the investigation. The case of pure epoxy resins (0.0 wt%) was used as a reference. The responding time and the thermal conductivity of the composites were evaluated. The results show that the response is the fastest for composite with 0.5 wt% MWNT among three composites studied herein. The responses of the 0.3%wt and 0.5%wt composite are increased by 14.3%∼26.7% relative to that of the pure epoxy. Compare with that of the pure epoxy, the thermal conductivities for the cases with 0.3 wt% and 0.5 wt% MWNT/epoxy composite are increased by 15.9%∼44.9%. Further, the thermal conductivity does not vary with temperature for the temperature range studied herein. In the present study, the thermal conductivity of the composite material is found to increase mildly with the increasing heat generation rate.

Electrical Insulation Properties

The hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BN) were firstly treated by silane coupling agents 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550) and 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (KH560) to introduce some amino and epoxy (EP) groups on the BN surface. These modified BN nanosheets were incorporated into an EP matrix to prepare BN@KH560/EP composites with excellent thermal conductivity and electrical insulation properties. Results showed that the thermal conductivity of BN@KH560/EP composite with 20[Formula: see text]vol% BN dosage was found to be 0.442[Formula: see text]W/(m[Formula: see text]K), which was 81% higher than that of pure EP resin. Both BN/EP composites treated by KH550 and KH560 showed rather good electrical insulation properties, although the dielectric constant of BN@KH550/EP composites were slightly higher than BN@KH560/EP composites. Moreover, BN@KH560/EP composites also showed better thermal and mechanical properties than that of BN@KH550/EP composites.
