Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) have excellent thermal conductivity. It can significantly improve the heat-conducting property of epoxy resin (EP) matrix. In this paper, the GNPs/EP composites were successfully prepared by using ultrasonication and the cast molding method. The prepared GNPs/EP composites were systematically characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal conductivity analyzer. Some factors affecting the thermal transfer performance of the composites were discussed. The defoamation has great influence on the thermal conductivity of composite. There is a nearly linear relationship between the mass fraction and the thermal conductivity of composite when the mass fraction of GNPs is below 4.3%. The results show that when the mass fraction of GNPs is 4.3% with crushing time of 2 s, the thermal conductivity of GNPs/EP composite is up to 0.99 W/m K. The thermal conductivity is increased by 9.0% compared with that without pulverization treatment (0.91 W/m K). When it is ground three times, the thermal conductivity of composite reaches the maximum (1.06 W/m K) and it is increased by 307.7% compared with that of epoxy resin matrix.

Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are a kind of material with excellent thermal conductivity. It can significantly improve the heat-conducting property of epoxy resin (EP) matrix. In this study, GNPs/EP composites were prepared by ultrasonication and the cast molding method. The effect of optimization in the preparation process on the thermal transfer performance of the composites was discussed. The pulverizing time of GNPs and three-roll grinder grinding of composites were considered. The results indicated that when the mass fraction of GNPs was 4.3%, in its pulverizing time of 2s, the thermal conductivity of GNPs/EP composites was up to 0.99 W/m·K, and it was increased by 9% compared with non-pulverization treatment. However, after pulverizing two seconds and grinding three times, the thermal conductivity of the composite reached the maximum (1.06 W/m·K) when the mass fraction of GNPs was 4.3%, and it was finally increased by 307.7% compared with epoxy resin matrix.

Epoxy Resin Composites

Alumina nanowires (Al2O3-NWs)/epoxy resin composites have been thoroughly studied due to their excellent insulating and dielectric performance. In particular, understanding the effect of nano-alumina with different morphologies on the dielectric performance of composites is of great significance. In this study, Al2O3-NWs with lengths of approximately 100 nm and diameters of approximately 5 nm were prepared and blended with anepoxy resin to form composites, and the effect of the mass fraction of fillers on the thermal conductivity of the composites was investigated. Specifically, the effect of alumina fillers with ananowire structure on the insulating and dielectric performance and breakdown strength of the epoxy composites were analyzed. The influence principle of the interfacial effect and heat accumulation on the dielectric and insulating properties of the composites were described. The results demonstrated that the thermal conductivity of Al2O3-NWs/epoxy resin composites was higher than that of the bare epoxy resin. The thermal conductivity of Al2O3-NWs/epoxy resin composites increased with increasing mass fraction of fillers. When the mass fraction of fillers was 10%, the thermal conductivity of the composite was 134% higher than that of the epoxy resin matrix. The volume resistivity of the composites first increased and then decreased as the mass fraction of fillers increased, while the dielectric constant of the composites increased with increasing mass fraction of fillers and decreasing frequency. The dielectric loss of the composites decreased and then increased as the mass fraction of fillers increased, and it increased with increasing frequency. Additionally, the alternating current breakdown strength of the composites first increased and then decreased withincreasingmass fraction of fillers.

By modifying the bonding of graphene (GR) and Fe3O4, a stable structure of GR-Fe3O4, namely magnetic GR, was obtained. Under the induction of a magnetic field, it can be orientated in an epoxy resin (EP) matrix, thus preparing EP/GR-Fe3O4 composites. The effects of the content of GR and the degree of orientation on the thermal conductivity of the composites were investigated, and the most suitable Fe3O4 load on GR was obtained. When the mass ratio of GR and Fe3O4 was 2:1, the thermal conductivity could be increased by 54.8% compared with that of pure EP. Meanwhile, EP/GR-Fe3O4 composites had a better thermal stability, dynamic thermomechanical properties, and excellent electrical insulation properties, which can meet the requirements of electronic packaging materials.

Si3N4-filled epoxy resin composite was fabricated employing liquid press molding method. Properties, such as thermal conductivity, dielectric constant of Si3N4-filled epoxy resin composite were evaluated, the effect of the content of Si3N4 and surface treatment of the filler was also considered. A silane coupling agent, namely NH2−(CH2)3Si−(OC2H5)3, was applied to functionalize the surface of Si3N4 filler. Experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity of the composites is strongly dependent on the filler and is dominated by the interface of epoxy resin and Si3N4 particles. As the Si3N4 volume fraction increasing, thermal conductance of Si3N4-filled composite was improved obviously, especially for that of silane-treated Si3N4 powder filled composite. Dielectric constant of the composite increases linearly, however, it still remains at a relatively low level (<5, at 1MHz).

This article proposes a method of increasing thermal conductivity (λ) by improving the λ value of a matrix and reducing the interfacial thermal resistance between such matrix and its thermally conductive fillers. D-GQDs (graphene quantum dots modified by polyetheramine D400) with a π–π-conjugated system in the center of their molecules, and polyether branched chains that are rich in amino groups at their edges, are designed and synthesized. AlN/DG-ER (AlN/D-GQDs-Epoxy resin) thermally conductive composites are obtained using AlN as a thermally conductive and insulating filler, using D-GQDs-modified epoxy resin as a matrix. All of the thermal conductivity, electrically insulating and physical–mechanical properties of AlN/DG-ER are investigated in detail. The results show that D-GQDs linked to an epoxy resin by chemical bonds can increase the value of λ of the epoxy–resin matrix and reduce the interfacial thermal resistance between AlN and DG-ER (D-GQDs–epoxy resin). The prepared AlN/DG-ER is shown to be a good thermally conductive and insulating packaging material.

A simple approach is developed to obtain a multiscale network of heat conducting by filling spherical alumina (S-Al2O3) and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) into silicone rubber (SR). This unique structure effectively minimizes the thermal contact resistance between fillers and matrix. The physical properties of the composites are characterized by thermal conductivity, density, and tensile strength. A high thermal conductivity of 3.37 Wm−1 K−1 has been achieved, which is 47.1% higher than the single filler at the same loading. A strong and obvious synergistic effect has been observed as S-Al2O3 and GnPs filled into silicone rubber matrix. It is interesting that the composites with GnPs have the lower density (2.62 g/cm3, reduced by 6%) and the superior tensile performance, compared to silicone rubber composite with neat S-Al2O3. The composites have the potential applications in heat dissipation of light-emitting diode.

Filled high thermal conductivity epoxy composite solves the problem of the low thermal conductivity of the epoxy resin itself, but the addition of the thermal conductive filler reduces the mechanical properties of the composite, which limits its application in the field of high voltage insulation. In this work, carboxyl-terminated butadiene nitrile liquid rubber (CTBN) was used to toughen the boron nitride-epoxy hybrid system, and the effects of different contents of CTBN on the mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, glass transition temperature, thermal stability, and dielectric properties of the composites were investigated. The results showed that when the content of CTBN was 5–15 wt.%, the CTBN formed a dispersed island structure in the epoxy resin matrix. The toughness of the composite increased by about 32%, the breakdown strength was improved, and the thermal conductivity was about 160% higher than that of pure epoxy resin. As the CTBN content increased, the glass transition temperature and thermal stability of the composite decreased and the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss increased. When the CTBN content is 10–15 wt.%, a toughened epoxy composite material with better comprehensive properties is obtained.
