Spark plasma sintered AlN-BN composites and its thermal conductivity

A series of samples of hexagonal boron nitride-aluminum nitride ceramic composites with different amounts of CaF2 as sintering aid were prepared by spark plasma sintered at 1700-1850 ℃ for 5 min.The addition of CaF2 effectively lowered the sintering temperature and promoted the densification of AlN-BN composites.With the increase of sintering temperature,the density increased,and the contiguity of AlN grains enhanced in AlN-BN composites.Thermal conductivity of AlN-BN composites increased with the increase in CaF2 content and sintering temperature,and there is a maximum value of 78.6 W·m^-1·K^-1 when the sample with 3wt% CaF2 sintered at 1800 ℃.     

Thermal conductivity model of filled polymer composites

Theoretical and empirical models for predicting the thermal conductivity of polymer composites were summarized since the 1920s.The effects of particle shape,filler amount,dispersion state of fillers,and interracial thermal barrier on the thermal conductivity of filled polymer composites were investigated,and the agreement of experimental data with theoretical models in literatures was discussed.Silica with high thermal conductivity was chosen to mix with polyvinyl-acetate(EVA)copolymer to prepare SiO2/EVA co-films.Experimental data of the co-films' thermal conductivity were compared with some classical theoretical and empirical models.The results show that Agari's model,the mixed model,and the percolation model can predict well the thermal conductivity of SiO2/EVA co-films.     

Investigation on the thermal conductivity of HDPE/MWCNT composites by laser pulse method

Thermal conductivity (TC) of high density polyethylene/multiwall carbon nanotube (HDPE/MWCNT) composite films was measured by laser pulse method. It is found that the TC increased quickly with the increase of MWCNT fraction when the volume fraction of MWCNT was below 3.35%. However, as the volume fraction of MWCNT was over 3.35%, the increasing rate became slow. A new percolation model was proposed based on the effect of MWCNT network to simulate the TC of HDPE/MWCNT composite films. The simulation result was in good agreement the experimental data well. In addition, the relationship of TC with the increase of temperature was also discussed. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 90606008 and 50706057)

Net-shape forming of composite packages with high thermal conductivity

The continuing miniaturization of electronic devices in microelectronics and semiconductors drives the development of new packaging materials with enhanced thermal conductivity to dissipate the heat generated in electronic packages. In recent years, several promising composite materials with high thermal conductivity have been developed successfully for high performance electronic equipment to replace the traditional Kovar and Cu/W or Cu/Mo alloys, such as SiCp/Al, SICp/Cu, diamond/Al and diamond/Cu. However, these materials with high content of reinforcements have not been widely used in packaging field because they are hard to be machined into complex-shaped parts due to their greater hardness and brittleness. So, it is necessary to explore a near-net shape forming technology for these composites. In this paper, a novel technology of powder injection molding-infiltration is introduced to realize the near-net shaped preparation of the composite packages with high thermal conductivity.

Fabrication and densification enhancement of SiC-particulate-reinforced copper matrix composites prepared via the sinter-forging process

The fabrication of copper （Cu） and copper matrix silicon carbide （Cu/SiCp） particulate composites via the sinter-forging process was investigated. Sintering and sinter-forging processes were performed under an inert Ar atmosphere. The influence of sinter-forging time, temperature, and compressive stress on the relative density and hardness of the prepared samples was systematically investigated and subsequently compared with that of the samples prepared by the conventional sintering process. The relative density and hardness of the composites were enhanced when they were prepared by the sinter-forging process. The relative density values of all Cu/SiCp composite samples were observed to decrease with the increase in SiC content.     

Mechanical,electrical, and thermal expansion properties of carbon nanotube-based silver and silver-palladium alloy composites

The mechanical, electrical, and thermal expansion properties of carbon nanotube（CNT）-based silver and silver–palladium（10：1, w/w） alloy nanocomposites are reported. To tailor the properties of silver, CNTs were incorporated into a silver matrix by a modified molecular level-mixing process. CNTs interact weakly with silver because of their non-reactive nature and lack of mutual solubility. Therefore, palladium was utilized as an alloying element to improve interfacial adhesion. Comparative microstructural characterizations and property evaluations of the nanocomposites were performed. The structural characterizations revealed that decorated type-CNTs were dispersed, embedded, and anchored into the silver matrix. The experimental results indicated that the modification of the silver and silver–palladium nanocomposite with CNT resulted in increases in the hardness and Young＇s modulus along with concomitant decreases in the electrical conductivity and the coefficient of thermal expansion（CTE）. The hardness and Young＇s modulus of the nanocomposites were increased by 30%？40% whereas the CTE was decreased to 50%-60% of the CTE of silver. The significantly improved CTE and the mechanical properties of the CNT-reinforced silver and silver–palladium nanocomposites are correlated with the intriguing properties of CNTs and with good interfacial adhesion between the CNTs and silver as a result of the fabrication process and the contact action of palladium as an alloying element.

Analysis and calculation of thermal conductivity of rock in deep strata

The thermal conductivity of rock is an important parameter for the deep mine and the geothermal development. It is often not possible to measure the thermal conductivity of the rocks present in the deep strata, and the usual approach is to calculate thermal conductivity including mineralogy and porosity. The compositions of core samples from the MID01 borehole in the Bj?rk? area were determined, and the minera composition was classified. The calculation of the thermal conductivity of rock in the borehole was carried out, and the main factors for the thermal conductivity of rock were analyzed. The results show that the calculated thermal conductivity of rock is reliable and useful for the design and calculation of geothermal development in the Bj?rk? area.

Effects of microstructure modification on properties of AlN/BN composites

It is very difficult to prepare full-densified aluminum nitride-boron nitride （AIN/BN） composite ceramics with homogeneous microstructure and high thermal conductivity. Spark plasma sintering （SPS） was used to fully densify the AIN/BN composites in this work. Microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the SPS sintered AIN/BN composites with 5-30 vol% BN were investigated. The results show that the microstructure of composites is fine and homogenous, and the AIN/BN composites exhibit high mechanical properties. To promote the growth of AIN grains and modify the distribution of grain boundary in AIN/BN composites, a heat treating methodology was introduced through gas pressure sintering （GPS）. This processing was significantly beneficial to enhancing the thermal conductivity of the specimen. The thermal conductivity of AIN/BN composites with 5-30 vol% BN reached 60 W/m K after the samples were treated by GPS.
