In order to achieve the purpose, the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a preparation method of a PEG ball-milling intercalation h-BN modified polyurethane heat-conducting composite material comprises the following steps:
(1) putting the h-BN and the intercalation agent PEG into a ball milling tank, adding a ball milling auxiliary agent, a solvent, water and a NaOH solution to form a material, carrying out ball milling, obtaining a mixture after ball milling, and drying the mixture to obtain PEG intercalation BN nanosheets;
(2) primarily stirring and dispersing Polyether Polyol (PPG), PEG intercalated BN nanosheets and a dispersing agent, then carrying out ultrasonic treatment, and then drying to obtain a prepolymer;
(3) placing the prepolymer in a closed reaction container, adding 4, 4' -diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) under the stirring condition for heating reaction, simultaneously vacuumizing, and obtaining a polyurethane precursor after the in-situ polymerization reaction is finished; and heating and curing the polyurethane precursor to obtain the PEG ball-milling intercalated h-BN modified polyurethane heat-conducting composite material.
Further, the ball milling auxiliary agent in the step (1) is benzyl benzoate; the solvent is absolute ethyl alcohol; the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.2-0.5 mol/L; the particle size of the h-BN is one or more of 6 micrometers, 12 micrometers and 16 micrometers; the relative molecular mass of the PEG is one or more of 6000g/mol, 10000g/mol and 20000 g/mol;
zirconia ball grinding beads are used in the ball milling process, the particle size of the zirconia ball grinding beads is 2-15mm, and the mass ratio of the materials to the zirconia ball grinding beads is 1 (1-1.5).
The larger the PEG molecular weight, the larger the interlayer spacing of the intercalation.
Furthermore, the mass ratio of the h-BN, the PEG, the ball-milling auxiliary agent, the solvent, the water and the NaOH solution in the step (1) is (15-50): (15-18): (0.1-0.5): (70-85):100: (0.05-0.1).
Further, the rotation speed of the ball milling in the step (1) is 300rpm-360rpm, the ball milling time is 12h-24h, and the ball milling is alternately carried out every 1 h.
Further, in the step (2), the dispersant is cetyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). CTAB plays a role in electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance in BN to prevent agglomeration of BN, and the ethylene long chain of PVP surrounds the BN to play a role in steric hindrance, so that the CTAB and the PVP are both favorable for dispersion of the BN.
Further, the mass ratio of the polyether glycol, the PEG intercalated h-BN nano sheet and the dispersing agent in the step (2) is 100 (5-25) to (0.3-0.6).

The invention also provides a PEG ball-milling intercalation h-BN modified polyurethane heat-conducting composite material prepared by the preparation method, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of polyether polyol resin, 20-23 parts of 4, 4' -diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 5-25 parts of PEG intercalated BN nanosheets and 0.3-0.6 part of dispersing agent.
The beneficial technical effects are as follows:
(1) the invention adopts a ball milling intercalation stripping technology, utilizes the strong shearing action among rigid abrasive particles in a high-energy ball mill to strip h-BN, and generates high temperature by using huge shearing energy during ball milling so as to activate the surface of an h-BN lamella, and then a large amount of active sites can be introduced on the surface of the h-BN lamella by introducing an alkaline solvent, thereby increasing the interfacial action among the h-BN nanosheets and being more beneficial to the stripping of the h-BN.
(2) The h-BN is of a laminated structure, but most of the h-BN is stacked and aggregated together, the force applied in the mechanical ball milling process is mainly shear force and impact force, the cross section size and the plane size of the boron nitride are reduced under the combined action of the two mechanical external forces, but the specific surface area of the h-BN is increased in the process of reducing the layer number, the h-BN is in a thermodynamic unsteady state, the van der Waals force between layers is enhanced, the polarity between B-N atoms between the layers is enhanced, and secondary aggregation is easy to occur.
(3) In the traditional process of mechanically milling boron nitride, the phenomenon that grinding balls impact raw material particles exists, and severe shearing action easily causes structural defects in the surface of the boron nitride, so that the oxidation resistance, the chemical corrosion resistance and the like of a ball-milling product are weakened.
(4) Compared with the traditional liquid phase stripping technology, the method has the advantages of less organic solvent consumption, environmental protection, simple operation, easy control of conditions, low sensitivity to environment, low energy consumption and low production cost, and is beneficial to industrial production and application.
(5) The PEG ball-milling intercalation h-BN modified polyurethane heat-conducting composite material has high heat-conducting property and excellent insulating property and mechanical property.
