Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the composites (PE-Al-Si) with high thermal conductivity and mechanical properties were obtained by compounding low density polyethylene (LDPE), alumina (Al₂O₃) and SiO₂ nanoparticles through melt blending, and then further modification through electron beam radiation. When the mass fraction of SiO₂ nanoparticles is 1% and the electron beam radiation (EB) dose is 120 kGy, the thermal conductivity of PE-Al-Si increases from 0.624 W/(m稫) to 0.759 W/(m稫), which is 22% increase compared with the composites without SiO₂ (PE-Al). The tensile strength of PE-Al-Si is increased by 17% compared with that of PE-Al. The results prove that SiO₂improves the mechanical properties, the radiation efficiency and the thermal conductivity of the composites.

Key words: polyethylene, electron beam radiation, SiO₂ nanoparticles, thermal conductivity
