In order to enhance the thermal conductivity of PTFE-based composites, hBN and SiC fillers are added to the PTFE matrix. The composites prepared by PVM process show improved thermal conductivity compared to compression molding. The hBN/SiC/PTFE composites also maintain low dielectric constant and loss.
In order to enhance the thermal conductivity of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based composites, while maintaining relatively low dielectric constant and dielectric loss for high-frequency and high-speed applications, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and silicon carbide (SiC) compounded fillers are filled into the PTFE matrix. The hBN/SiC/PTFE composites are prepared by pulse vibration molding (PVM), and their subsequent thermal conductivities are comparatively investigated. The PVM process with controlled fluctuation in pressure (1 Hz square wave force, 0-20 MPa, at 150 degrees C) can reduce the sample porosity and surface defects, improve the orientation of hBN, and increase the thermal conductivity by 44.6% compared with that obtained by compression molding. When hBN:SiC (vol) is 3:1, the in-plane thermal conductivity of the composite with 40 vol% filler content is approximate to 4.83 W m(-1) K-1, which is 40.3% higher than that of hBN/PTFE. Regarding the dielectric properties, hBN/SiC/PTFE maintains a low dielectric constant of 3.27 and a low dielectric loss of 0.0058. The dielectric constants of hBN/SiC/PTFE ternary composites are predicted by using different prediction models, among which the effective medium theory (EMT), is in good agreement with the experimental results. PVM shows great potential in the large-scale preparation of thermal conductive composites for high-frequency and high-speed applications.
