Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Next-generation electronics require efficient thermal management due to miniaturization and increased power density.
  • Polymer nanocomposites are promising for thermal interface materials (TIMs) but face processability challenges at high filler loadings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop high-loading graphite/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites with enhanced thermal conductivity and processability.
  • To design a pyrene-functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (PyPDMS) dispersant for improved graphite dispersion and rheological properties.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized pyrene-functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (PyPDMS) as an interfacial modifier.
  • Incorporated PyPDMS into graphite/PDMS composites to reduce agglomeration and viscosity.
  • Fabricated composites with up to 50 wt.% graphite loading and evaluated their thermal conductivity and rheological properties.

Main Results:

  • PyPDMS dispersant significantly reduced composite viscosity by up to 1.6-fold.
  • Achieved uniform composite fabrication with high graphite loadings (up to 50 wt.%) without compromising processability.
  • Composites exhibited a 10.57% increase in thermal conductivity compared to those without PyPDMS, while maintaining flexibility.

Conclusions:

  • The developed PyPDMS dispersant enables the fabrication of highly processable, high-loading graphite/PDMS composites.
  • This approach offers a practical solution for advanced thermal interface materials (TIMs) in demanding electronic applications.
  • The study highlights the potential of tailored interfacial modifiers for optimizing nanocomposite performance.
