Preparation and properties of phenolphthalein poly(aryl ether nitrile ketone)/boron nitride thermal conductive composite materials
PEK-CN/BN thermal conductive composites were prepared by powder blending and high temperature molding methods using phenolphthalein poly(aryl ether nitrile ketone)(PEK-CN)as matrix resin and boron nitride(BN)as thermal conductive filler.The effects of BN particle size on the thermal conductivity and thermodynamic properties of PEK-CN/BN composites were investigated.The results showed that the addition of BN could effectively improve the thermal conductivity of PEK-CN/BN composites.The thermal conductivity of the composites firstly decreased and then increased with increasing the BN particle size with 30%mass fraction of BN.With 20 pm particle size of BN,the thermal conductivity was highest to 0.708 W/(m·K),which was 83.3%higher than that of pure PEK-CN.The maximum thermal conductivity of the composite,prepared with 3∶2 mass ratio of BN with particle size of 10 and 2.6 pm,was 0.961 W/(m·K),which was 3.83 times that of pure PEK-CN,suggesting the thermal conductivity of the composite was significantly enhanced.
