In this study, maleic anhydride (MA) was used to fabricate poly(vinylidene fluoride)/expanded graphite (PVDF/EG) composites via one-step melt mixing. The addition of MA promoted the exfoliation and dispersion of EG in the PVDF matrix, resulting in higher thermal conductivities compared to the PVDF/EG composites without MA. The introduction of MA also increased the melting peak temperature and crystallinity, providing a more efficient method for preparing PVDF/EG composites with high thermal conductivity.
Maleic anhydride (MA) is introduced to fabricate poly(vinylidene fluoride)/expanded graphite (PVDF/EG) composites via one-step melt mixing. SEM micrographs and WAXD results have demonstrated that the addition of MA helps to exfoliate and disperse the EG well in the PVDF matrix by promoting the mobility of PVDF molecular chains and enhancing the interfacial adhesion between the EG layers and the PVDF. Thus, much higher thermal conductivities are obtained for the PVDF/MA/EG composites compared to the PVDF/EG composites that are lacking MA. For instance, The PVDF/MA/EG composite prepared with a mass ratio of 93:14:7 exhibits a high thermal conductivity of up to 0.73 W/mK. It is 32.7% higher than the thermal conductivity of the PVDF/EG composite that is prepared with a mass ratio of 93:7. Moreover, the introduction of MA leads to an increased melting peak temperature and crystallinity due to an increased nucleation site provided by the uniformly dispersed EG in the PVDF matrix. This study provides an efficient preparation method for PVDF/EG composites with a high thermal conductivity.
