Abstract:

In this study, thermally conductive phase change composites materials was prepared based on polyethylene glycol (PEG) and inorganic fillers via the molten blending method. The microstructure, thermal conductivity and phase transition performance of the prepared composites were investigated by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), thermal constant analyzer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared thermal imaging and thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that, compared with calcium carbonate and alumina, boron nitride can more significantly improve the thermal conductivity of PEG at the same mass fraction. When the mass fraction of BN is 40%, the thermal conductivity of composites can reach 3.40 W/(m·K). Simultaneously, flake boron nitride can effectively limit the leakage of PEG and maintain the initially shapes well upon long time heating, and maintain the shape stability of the composite.
