Description

Polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of heat-conducting composite materials, and particularly relates to a polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rapid development of the microelectronic industry, electronic devices and equipment are continuously developed toward high power, high density integration and miniaturization, and the resulting heat generation problem poses a serious challenge to the performance, reliability and lifetime of electronic products. Materials used for thermal management of electronic products are required to have not only ultra-high thermal conductivity but also a certain thermal capacity. The heat capacity is in direct proportion to the mass of the material, and when the area is fixed, the increase of the thickness has great significance for improving the heat capacity of the heat conduction material.
In recent years, polyimide-based graphite (PIG) films prepared by taking Polyimide (PI) films as raw materials are widely applied to electronic equipment such as smart phones and notebook computers, and the plane thermal conductivity of the PIG films is more than 1500W/mk. However, due to the limitation of the thickness of the PI film and the influence of the thicker PI film and the greater difficulty in graphitization, the thickness of the polyimide-based high thermal conductivity graphite film is below 100 μm, generally about 25 μm, and the urgent requirements of increasingly thinner electronic products on high heat capacity and high thermal conductivity graphite materials cannot be met.
Graphite-metal composite materials, especially graphite-metal composite materials prepared by powder metallurgy process, have been drawing attention in the application of heat pipe control materials due to their characteristics of high thermal conductivity, small thermal expansion coefficient, high strength, and being capable of being prepared into any shape and size. The flaky graphite powder is often used as a graphite material for a graphite-metal composite material, and its thermal conductivity is usually about 400W/mK. High-thermal conductivity, large-size and high-quality flaky graphite powder is difficult to obtain, the performance of the graphite-metal composite material depends on the characteristics of the graphite powder to a great extent, the heat conductivity of the flaky graphite-metal composite material is generally less than 600W/mK, and the heat conductivity needs to be further improved.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention has been made to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and drawbacks of the background art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material capable of satisfying both high thermal conductivity and high heat capacity, and a method for preparing the same. The problem that the thermal conductivity of a common graphite-metal composite material is lower than 600W/mK, and the thermal capacity of a polyimide-based high-thermal-conductivity graphite film is small due to thickness limitation is solved.
The polyimide-based high-thermal-conductivity graphite film can be broken to form large-length-diameter-ratio and large-size flake graphite powder, the plane thermal conductivity of the flake graphite powder can reach more than 1500W/mk, the polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material prepared by adopting the powder metallurgy process is not limited by the thickness, the flake graphite-metal composite material can inherit the high thermal conductivity of the polyimide-based graphite film, and the thermal capacity can be improved by increasing the thickness.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows:
a polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material comprises 20-95% by volume of polyimide-based graphite powder and 80-5% by volume of metal powder matrix, and the relative density of the composite material is more than 95%.
The relative density in the present invention means a ratio of an actual density to an ideal density calculated from volume percentages and true densities of the polyimide-based graphite powder and the matrix, and is calculated by the following formula.
(relative density) ═ actual density)/(ideal density)
(ideal density) — (true density of polyimide-based graphite powder) × (% by volume of polyimide-based graphite powder)/100 + (true density of matrix) × (% by volume of matrix)/100
When the relative density is 95% or more, the composite material can be provided with almost no voids that inhibit heat conduction, and the properties such as mechanical strength can be improved.
In the composite material, the polyimide-based graphite powder preferably has an average aspect ratio of 5 to 100 and/or an average particle diameter of 20 to 2000 μm. Wherein the average aspect ratio is an average value of a representative length of the particles in the direction of the plane of the graphite sheets with respect to the thickness, and the average particle diameter is a representative average length of the powder in the direction of the plane of the graphite sheets. The average length-diameter ratio is too small (less than 5) or the average particle size is too small (less than 20), which is not favorable for the ordered arrangement of the powder, and the contact thermal resistance among the powder is increased, which is unfavorable for the heat-conducting property of the composite material; the average length-diameter ratio is too large (more than 100), and the processing difficulty of the powder is high; the average particle size is too large (greater than 2000 microns), and the composite material is difficult to press and sinter.
In the composite material, preferably, the metal powder matrix is one of copper, aluminum or an alloy thereof. Copper has a thermal conductivity second to that of silver, and gold and aluminum have slightly poor thermal conductivities.
In the composite material, the metal powder matrix preferably has an average particle diameter of 2 to 120 μm and an average thickness of 100 to 500 nm. From the viewpoint of improving the thermal conductivity and alleviating the segregation of metals, metal powder having a small particle size is preferable. The average thickness is less than 100 nanometers, and the metal powder is difficult to prepare; the average thickness is more than 500 nanometers, which is not beneficial to the dispersion of the metal powder in the graphite powder.
As a general inventive concept, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material, comprising the steps of:
(1) the polyimide film is fired into polyimide-based graphite film, and then the polyimide-based graphite film is crushed into polyimide
A base graphite powder;
(2) mixing polyimide-based graphite powder and metal powder to obtain a powder mixture;
(3) preparing the powder mixture into a sintering precursor;
(4) and (3) performing pressure sintering on the sintering precursor.
In the step (1), the polyimide film is fired into the polyimide-based graphite film through two processes of carbonization and graphitization. The specific process of carbonization is that the polyimide film and the graphite paper are put into a carbonization furnace, vacuum pumping is carried out, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 500 ℃ at the heating rate of 5-15 ℃/min, then the temperature is raised to 600-650 ℃ at the heating rate of 1-5 ℃/min, heat preservation is carried out for 30-120min, then the temperature is raised to 700-800 ℃ at the heating rate of 1-5 ℃/min, heat preservation is carried out for 30-120min, finally the temperature is raised to 900-1500 ℃ at the heating rate of 5-15 ℃/min, and heat preservation is carried out for 0.5-4 h. The temperature rise rate (less than or equal to 5 ℃) needs to be slowed down at 800 ℃ (the rapid decoking stage) of 500-; the heating rate is too fast, and a large amount of waste gas such as tar and the like generated in the carbonization process of the PI film is difficult to rapidly remove from the PI film, so that the defects of unclean film decoking or tar spots and the like on the surface of the film are caused. At 900-.
The specific process of graphitization is to place the carbonized film after the PI film carbonization in a graphitization furnace, introduce argon gas to maintain the pressure in the furnace at a micro-positive pressure (the micro-positive pressure means that the pressure of the gas in the furnace is slightly higher than the atmospheric pressure of the environment outside the furnace body, namely, to ensure that the outside air cannot enter the furnace body), then raise the temperature to 2500 plus materials 3000 ℃ at the rate of 5-30 ℃/min, and preserve the temperature for 0.5-4h to complete the graphitization process. 2500 ℃ plus 3000 ℃ can ensure that the graphite film reaches the required graphitization temperature, and the higher temperature has high requirements on equipment and high energy consumption.
The thickness of the polyimide film is 5-150 mu m; the thermal conductivity of the polyimide-based graphite film reaches more than 1500W/mk. The PI film with the thickness less than 5 microns is difficult to prepare, the PI film with the thickness more than 150 microns is also difficult to prepare, the PI film is too thick, decoking is difficult in the carbonization process, the graphitization degree of the prepared graphite film is low, and the thermal conductivity is reduced.
In the above method, preferably, the raw material used for preparing the polyimide-based graphite powder in the step (1) is polyimide film scrap or polyimide-based graphite film scrap. The advantage of using these scrap is that the cost of the polyimide-based graphite powder can be reduced.
In the above method, preferably, the polyimide-based graphite film is crushed into polyimide-based graphite powder by a ball milling method. The ball milling and crushing method has high efficiency. The specific process of ball milling is that stainless steel grinding balls, ball milling media absolute ethyl alcohol and polyimide-based graphite films are added into a ball milling tank according to the mass ratio of (3-20)/(0.1-10)/1, ball milling is carried out on ball milling equipment at the rotating speed of 200-600r/min for 0.5-24h, then the grinding balls and the absolute ethyl alcohol are removed, drying and screening are carried out. The average length-diameter ratio of the crushed polyimide-based graphite powder is 5-100, and the average particle size is 20-2000 mu m.
The method of mixing the polyimide-based graphite powder and the metal powder in the step (2) may be performed by any method known in the art, and the polyimide-based graphite powder and the metal powder may be mixed with an inert liquid medium by using a planetary ball mill and then dried by using a dryer to obtain a mixed powder. The mixing ratio of the polyimide-based graphite powder and the metal powder is such that the final polyimide-based graphite powder accounts for 20-95 vol% of the composite material.
In the above method, preferably, in the step (3), the powder mixture filled in the mold is uniaxially pressed at a pressure of 5 to 150MPa, and the sintering precursor is prepared by multi-pass filling and pressing so that the polyimide-based graphite powder is oriented such that the plane direction of the graphite sheet layer is perpendicular to the pressing direction as much as possible. The obtained sintering precursor has high compact density and good formability.
In the above method, the sintering precursor obtained in the step (4) is preferably sintered while being uniaxially pressed to form a composite material. The obtained composite material has high sintering density, good orientation and high heat conductivity coefficient. The specific process is that the sintering precursor is firstly placed in a tungsten carbide mould and is placed in a hot-pressing sintering furnace, and then the furnace is vacuumized to keep 10 degrees in the furnace-3And (3) introducing nitrogen or argon serving as inert protective gas into the furnace at the vacuum degree of Pa, then preserving the heat for 0.5-2 h at the sintering temperature of 800-1000 ℃ under the hot-pressing pressure of 60-200 MPa, and finally cooling along with the furnace to obtain the polyimide-based graphite-metal composite material with the relative density of more than 95%.
In the above method, preferably, the polyimide-based graphite powder is subjected to surface copper plating or aluminum plating before being mixed with the metal powder. By plating copper or aluminum on the surface of the polyimide-based graphite powder, the specific gravity of the copper-plated or aluminum-plated polyimide-based graphite powder can be increased, segregation caused by an excessively large specific gravity difference between the graphite powder and a metal copper/aluminum matrix can be relieved, the affinity between the polyimide-based graphite powder and the metal copper/aluminum matrix can be increased, and the properties such as mechanical strength of the obtained composite material can be improved.
Preferably, the surface copper plating treatment mainly comprises a roughening process, a sensitizing process, an activating process, a glue dissolving process and a plating process. The specific process is as follows:
(a) soaking the polyimide-based graphite powder obtained in the step (1) in concentrated nitric acid with the temperature of 60-80 ℃ and the mass fraction of 60-65% for 1-3h, taking out and cleaning the polyimide-based graphite powder, and finishing roughening treatment; coarsening, namely oxidizing the surface of the graphite powder by using concentrated nitric acid to improve the surface activity of the graphite powder.

(d) placing the activated polyimide-based graphite powder in 1-2 g/L of fluoboric acid aqueous solution, soaking for 3-5min, taking out, and cleaning with deionized water to finish the dispergation process, wherein the fluoboric acid has too low concentration, the solution composition changes rapidly, the process stability is poor, and the over-high concentration of the fluoboric acid can cause the over-dispergation;
(e) the method comprises the steps of preparing a copper plating solution, wherein the copper plating solution contains 10-15 g/L of copper sulfate pentahydrate, 10-15 ml/L of formaldehyde, 40-60 g/L of sodium potassium tartrate and 10-15 g/L of sodium hydroxide, copper particles are provided by the copper sulfate pentahydrate, the formaldehyde is used as a reducing agent, the sodium potassium tartrate is used as a complexing agent and can prevent copper ions from forming hydroxide precipitates and separating out, the sodium hydroxide is used as a pH regulator, the pH value of the plating solution is 9.0-13.0, the pH value is too low, copper plating reaction does not proceed or proceeds too slowly, polyimide-based graphite powder after peptization treatment is immersed in the plating solution, the plating temperature is increased to a plating temperature, the plating time is kept for a certain plating time, the plating process is completed, the plating temperature is 60-90 ℃, the plating time is 2-60min, after the plating is completed, the polyimide-based graphite powder is washed by deionized water, then is dried, the plating temperature is lower than 60 ℃, the copper plating rate is too low, the plating temperature is higher than 90 ℃, the copper plating rate is too high, the plating speed, the plating layer is uneven, the plating phenomenon and the plating layer stripping phenomenon is.
The weight of the polyimide-based graphite powder is increased by 2-40% after electroless copper plating. If the copper plating is less than 2%, the plating layer is too little and uneven; if the copper plating is higher than 40%, the plating layer is too thick, so that the plating layer and the graphite powder are not firmly combined easily, and the plating solution is wasted.
