The positive role of mesophase-pitch-based carbon fibers in enhancing thermal response behavior in Carbon/Carbon composites

Biao Li et al.

Summary: The high-thermal-conductive Carbon/Carbon (HTC-C/C) composites using mesophase-pitch-based carbon fibers (CFMP) as the heat conduction carriers are potential thermal management materials in high-tech fields. The thermal response behavior and the enhancing effect of CFMP are investigated in the complex dynamic temperature variation of the composites. One-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional HTC-C/C composites with different thermal conductivities in the CFMP direction are prepared, and their thermal response behaviors are studied using infrared thermal imager. The results show that graphitized CFMP with specific parameters can efficiently transfer heat in the composite, and the temperature distribution and variation are determined by the CFMP arrangement and the size and shape of pore defects in the composites.

Shape stabilized three-dimensional porous SiC-based phase change materials for thermal management of electronic components

Xiangfei Kong et al.

Summary: As electronic components become smaller and more powerful, effective thermal management is crucial to deal with the problem of increased heat accumulation. Phase change materials (PCM), particularly composite PCM (CPCM), show potential for thermal management in limited spaces, but their limited thermal conductivity, enthalpy, and electrical resistance hinder their application in electronic systems. In this study, a stable porous silicon carbide felt (SiC) was prepared using commercial carbon fiber felt (CF) as a carbon source. The CPCM, consisting of silicon carbide nanowires and fibers, showed improved thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity. The resulting material exhibited high thermal conductivity (0.794 W·m·K-1), enthalpy (231.4 J·g-1), energy storage efficiency (89.81%), and electrical resistivity (2.05×10^6 Ω·cm), along with shape stability and acceptable thermal performance. CPCM demonstrated excellent heat storage performance and temperature resistance, prolonging the time to reach peak temperature of the heating element fivefold. Therefore, CPCM has significant potential for thermal management in electronic products.

Microstructure of high thermal conductivity mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers

Chong Ye et al.

Summary: The microstructural characteristics of high thermal conductivity mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers were investigated through XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM and TEM, and the relationship between microstructural characteristics and thermal conductivity was discussed. It was found that the radial structure is always accompanied by a splitting structure, with La having a more significant impact on thermal conductivity than Lc. The Raman spectroscopy ID/IG value of the cross section served as an essential index for evaluating the thermal conductivity of the carbon fibers, with large graphite crystallite size, high preferred orientation along the fiber axis, and few defects contributing to the high thermal conductivity of the carbon fibers.
