Graphene microchip/polymer composite material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of composite materials, in particular to a graphene microchip/polymer composite material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The graphene nanoplatelets are used as members of newly discovered carbon-based materials, integrates the advantages of other carbon-based fillers, has low conductive percolation threshold, excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties and lower cost than single-layer graphene, and provides a new development direction for modification of polymers. The graphene nanoplatelets are added into the polymer as a reinforcing material, so that the electrical conductivity and the thermal conductivity of the polymer-based composite material can be greatly improved, and the graphene nanoplatelets have wide application prospects in the fields of conductive materials, heat conduction materials, shielding materials, electronic packaging and the like.
In order to realize the low-cost and large-scale preparation of the graphene microchip/polymer composite material, researchers have conducted extensive research. At present, the melt blending method is widely accepted as the most promising preparation method due to the universality, environmental protection and economy, and is suitable for industrial production. However, since the graphene nanoplatelets have large specific surface area and surface free energy and strong electrostatic force and van der waals force between the graphene nanoplatelets, they are usually present in the form of aggregates in the polymer, which is not good for improving the performance of the polymer-based composite material, especially for peeling and dispersing the graphene nanoplatelets when they are prepared by a melt-kneading method. Reports show that the stripping and dispersing effects of the graphene nanoplatelets have great influence on the polymer crystallinity and the establishment of a conductive network, so that the performances of the graphene nanoplatelets/polymer composite materials prepared by the graphene nanoplatelets are greatly different.
At present, the prior art generally adopts the improvement of the shearing force in the processing force field to achieve the peeling of the graphene micro-sheets and the uniform low dispersion of the graphene micro-sheets in the polymer, thereby changing the comprehensive performance of the graphene micro-sheets. However, the above technical solutions have poor improvement effects, and are difficult to implement and popularize due to the improvement of mechanical equipment.
