用于电磁波吸收和热管理的BN/MWCNT/epoxy轻质复合材料

摘要: 提升环氧树脂等聚合物的导热与电磁波吸收性能,共混复合填料是主流改性方案,但不同填料间相容性差、导热与吸波性能存在固有制衡矛盾,限制其在电子封装领域应用。本研究提出一种简单的电磁波吸收–热管理复合材料的制备方法,以BN包覆MWCNT为复合填料,采用表面活性剂原位改性工艺制备轻质BN/MWCNT/环氧树脂复合材料,提出兼顾热管理与微波吸收的一体化制备策略。通过调控BN对MWCNT的包覆比例,精准调控填料微观形貌与介电特性,同步优化材料内部导电、导热双网络结构;表面活性剂改性有效改善填料与环氧树脂基体界面结合,抑制填料团聚并降低界面热阻。实验结果表明,复合材料在5wt%的低填料负载量下,在3.4 mm的厚度下实现了X波段电磁波全吸收,9.7 GHz下最小反射损耗可达−39.2 dB。相较于环氧树脂,复合材料的热导率提高了65%,导热性能有明显提升。本工作系统剖析导电网络与导热网络的耦合关系,阐明吸波-导热协同作用机理,为电子封装领域轻量化多功能热/微波复合材料提供了一种简便可行的制备思路。

 

Lightweight composite BN/multi-walled carbon nanotube/epoxy for electromagnetic wave absorption and thermal management

Abstract: Optimizing polymeric material properties through composite filler incorporation has demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing both thermal conductivity and electromagnetic wave absorption. However, persistent challenges arise from filler incompatibility and the intrinsic trade-off between thermal conductivity and electromagnetic wave absorption performance. This study develops a facile fabrication method for epoxy-based composites containing boron nitride-coated multi-walled carbon nanotube (BN/MWCNT) composite fillers, designed for dual thermal management and electromagnetic wave absorption applications. By controlling the BN coating extent on MWCNT surfaces, we facilitated precise regulation of dielectric properties and microstructural characteristics. Subsequent surfactant modification strengthened interfacial adhesion between fillers and matrix while suppressing particle agglomeration. The engineered coating architecture simultaneously reduced interfacial thermal resistance and established optimized conductive pathways. The composite achieved over 99% absorption across the entire X-band at 5wt% filler loading, with a minimum reflection loss of −39 dB. Concurrently, the thermal conductivity showed an increase of 104% compared to neat epoxy resin, confirming effective thermal network formation. This work establishes a practical approach for creating multifunctional electronic packaging composites through rational filler compounding and interface engineering.
