Mechanically Robust Fluorinated Graphene/Poly(<i>p</i>‑Phenylene Benzobisoxazole) Nanofiber Films with Low Dielectric Constant and Enhanced Thermal Conductivity: Implications for Thermal Management Applications
Low-dielectric materials have found broad applications
in microelectronics
but are limited by poor mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.
In this study, a class of nanocomposite films based on fluorinated
graphene (FG) was developed by replacing the traditional polymer matrix
with a 3D interconnected poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole)
(PBO) nanofiber network. The FG nanosheets are uniformly distributed
in the porous network of PBO nanofibers (PBONF) and stacked orderly
to form a nacre-like layered structure while paving effective thermal
conduction paths. Ultimately, the strong interfacial bonding and efficient
synergy between FG and PBONF endow the composite films with unparalleled
tensile properties (strength and modulus up to 295.4 MPa and 7.79
GPa, respectively) and folding endurance (no drop in tensile properties
after 1000 folds), ultralow dielectric constant (as low as 1.71),
and excellent thermal conductivity (12.13 W m–1 K–1). In addition, these FG/PBONF composite films also
exhibit an ultrahigh thermal stability (5% weight loss temperature
higher than 540 °C), which makes them promising for the heat
dissipation of high-power electronic devices in extreme environments
Novel Biodegradable and Double Crystalline Multiblock Copolymers Comprising of Poly(butylene succinate) and Poly(ε-caprolactone): Synthesis, Characterization, and Properties
A series of double crystalline multiblock copolymers
composed of
polyÂ(butylene succinate) (PBS) and polyÂ(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)
have been successfully synthesized with hexamethylene diisocyanate
(HDI) as a chain extender. The copolymers were systematically characterized
by <sup>1</sup>H NMR, GPC, TGA, DSC, WAXD, and mechanical testing.
The results indicate that the PBS segment is immiscible with the PCL
segment in the amorphous region. The copolymers follow a two-stage
degradation behavior, and thermal stability increases with increasing
PBS content. PBS and PCL in the copolymers crystallize and melt separately.
The mechanical properties of the copolymers can be conveniently adjusted
from rigid plastics to flexible elastomers by changing the feed composition.
The impact strength is substantially improved by the incorporation
of the PCL segment
