Abstract:

Incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles to polyimides is an important strategy to improve corona resistance. The improvement of corona-resistant characteristics is closely related to the dispersion of nano fillers. The controllable distribution of nanoparticles in polymer matrix has always been a challenge. In this paper, The Al2O3/polyimide(PI) composites were synthesised via in situ polymerization in the solution of two-dimensional nano-sheets exfoliated from layered double hydroxides (LDH). In the process of the film formation, the two-dimensional nano-sheets tend to aggregate and orientate towards the substrates with the solvent volatilization, which would affect the distribution of Al2O3 in the polymer matrix, and furthermore improve the corona resistance of the Al2O3/LDH/PI composites. The corona resistance time of Al2O3/LDH/PI composites is 180 min, and improves by twelve-fold when 2% (mass fraction) LDH is added into 10% (mass fraction) Al2O3/PI composites, and the tensile strength increases by 37.8%. Due to the different morphologies, the combination of two-dimensional nanosheets and nanoparticles can effectively improve the corona resistance and mechanical properties of Al2O3/LDH/PI composite films.
