Simulation optimization on thermal conductivity and dielectric properties of alumina/polypropylene composites
To investigate the influence of the filler network constructed by alumina(Al2O3)on the thermal and dielectric properties of polypropylene(PP)composites,this study constructed a finite element model of randomly filled Al2O3 fillers,and systematically studied the effects of factors such as filler content,filler particle size,and size matching of binary fillers on the thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of Al2O3/PP composites.The results indicate that increasing the filler content can significantly bridge the Al2O3 filler,synergistically construct an interconnected thermal conductive network and electric displacement pathway,thereby significantly improving the thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of Al2O3/PP composites.For single Al2O3 filled PP composites,the thermal conductivity and dielectric constant of composites cannot be effectively enhanced by regulating the size of Al2O3 filler.After introducing the multiscale fillers,at the optimized binary filler ratio of 70∶30(40 μm∶15 μm),the overall thermal conductivity and electrical displacement networks show the dominant skeleton of large-sized filler and the bridging branch of small-sized fillers features,which synergistically contributes to the Al2O3/PP composite reach the optimal thermal conductivity(0.55 W/(m·K))and dielectric constant(5.6).
