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.

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.

Epoxy resin composites filled with alumina (Al2O3) particles of different morphology and content were fabricated by vacuum casting method. Electric and thermal properties of the composites were tested at room temperature to investigate the influence of Al2O3 morphology on epoxy resin composites. Electrical tests demonstrated that, volume resistivity of epoxy resin composites filled with spherical Al2O3 was bigger than with spherical-like Al2O3, relative permittivity and dielectric loss of epoxy resin composites increased with increasing of Al2O3 content, the effect on dielectric properties of spherical-like Al2O3, which had larger specific surface areas, was larger than spherical Al2O3 for the same content of filler. Thermal conductivity tests proved that, at the same content, thermal conductivity of epoxy resin composites filled with spherical-like Al2O3 was higher than with spherical Al2O3. According to the Agari model, spherical-like Al2O3 particles were easier to form conducting pathways in epoxy resin composites than spherical Al2O3 particles, considering their matte edges.
