Detailed Description

Liquid metal alloy
In a preferred embodiment, the liquid metal alloy consists of gallium, indium and tin.
The gallium is a light blue metal, has a melting point of 29.76 ℃, becomes liquid when heated to the melting point, is cooled to 0 ℃ without solidification, and increases in volume by about 3.2% when converted from liquid to solid. The heat conductivity of the gallium is 29.4W/(m.cndot.), and the gallium is stable in dry air and generates an oxide film to prevent continuous oxidation and loses luster in humid air.
The indium is silvery white and slightly bluish metal, and the melting point of the indium is 156.61 ℃. The thermal conductivity of the indium is 81.6W/(m DEG C); from normal temperature to melting point, the indium slowly reacts with oxygen in the air, a very thin oxide film is formed on the surface, and when the temperature is higher, the indium reacts with active nonmetal. The bulk indium metal does not react with boiling water and alkali solution, but the powdered indium reacts slowly with water to form indium hydroxide.
The tin is a low-melting-point metal element with silvery white luster, and the melting point of the metal element is 231.89 ℃. The thermal conductivity of the tin is 15.08W/(m DEG C); the tin dioxide protective film is generated on the surface of tin in the air to be stable, and the oxidation reaction is accelerated under heating. Tin is rich in ductility at normal temperature, particularly at 100 ℃, the ductility is very good, and extremely thin tin foil can be formed.
As a preferred embodiment, the gallium, indium and tin are, by mass:
19-23% of indium;
58-63% of gallium;
the remaining amount of tin.
As a preferred embodiment, the gallium, indium and tin are, by mass:
20-22% of indium;
59-61% of gallium;
the remaining amount of tin.
Preferably, the mass percentages of gallium, indium and tin are as follows:
21.5% of indium;
62.5% of gallium;
the remaining amount of tin.
Preferably, the mass percentages of gallium, indium and tin are as follows:
21% of indium;
60% of gallium;
the remaining amount of tin.
The preparation method of the liquid metal alloy comprises the following steps: weighing raw material simple substances of the liquid metal alloy according to the component formula, uniformly mixing, and adding into a crucible; heating to 250 ℃ and 300 ℃, preserving the heat for 2-8 hours, then cooling to room temperature, and placing the obtained liquid metal alloy in a container protected by inert atmosphere for later use.
As a preferred embodiment, the pretreatment process of the liquid metal alloy is: the liquid metal alloy is stirred at room temperature for a certain period of time.
As a preferred embodiment, the stirring speed is 10 to 100rpm and the stirring time is 0.5 to 2 hours.
The stirring time may be, for example: 0.5 hour, 0.6 hour, 0.7 hour, 0.8 hour, 0.9 hour, 1 hour, 1.2 hours, 1.3 hours, 1.4 hours, 1.5 hours, 1.6 hours, 1.7 hours, 1.8 hours, 1.9 hours, 2 hours.
In a preferred embodiment, the stirring speed is 10 to 100rpm and the stirring time is 1 hour.
The applicant has found that by pre-treating the liquid metal alloy, the wettability between the liquid metal alloy and the mesh cloth is enhanced.
Glass fiber mesh cloth
The glass fiber mesh fabric is obtained by taking glass fiber woven fabric as a base material and soaking a coating layer in a high-molecular anti-emulsion. The glass fiber mesh cloth is mainly alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh cloth, is formed by twisting medium-alkali-free glass fiber yarns through a special tissue structure, namely a leno tissue, and is subjected to high-temperature heat setting treatment such as alkali resistance and a reinforcing agent.
In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the glass fiber mesh cloth is 0.01 to 0.2 mm.
In a preferred embodiment, the glass fiber mesh cloth has a grammage of 40 to 200 g/m.
In a preferred embodiment, the gram weight of the glass fiber mesh cloth is 110-200 g/square meter.
As a preferred embodiment, the method for reducing the thermal resistance of the liquid metal alloy heat conducting fin comprises the following steps:
(1) stirring the liquid metal alloy at room temperature for 0.5-2 hours at the stirring speed of 10-100 rpm;
(2) simultaneously, sequentially cleaning the glass fiber mesh cloth by using acetone and ethanol;
(3) and (3) smearing the liquid metal alloy pretreated in the step (1) on the glass fiber mesh cloth cleaned in the step (2) to obtain the metal alloy.
And (4) wiping the surface of the glass fiber mesh cloth by using a cotton swab for multiple times during the coating in the step (3), so that the liquid metal alloy is fully and tightly contacted with the mesh cloth.
The applicant unexpectedly finds that the thermal resistance of the liquid metal alloy heat conducting sheet can be well reduced by coating the liquid metal alloy on glass fiber mesh cloth with the gram weight of 110-200 g/square meter and the thickness of 0.01-0.2 mm after pretreatment, supposing that when the liquid metal alloy heat conducting sheet is in contact with a heat conducting surface, the liquid metal alloy heat conducting sheet with submillimeter-level periodic fluctuation can spread on the heat conducting surface, the fluctuation structures are fine and soft, and the periodic structures with specific sizes and intervals and the pretreated liquid metal are cooperated with each other, and are rapidly deformed under the action of pressure and preliminarily fill the heat conducting surface, so that each part of the heat conducting surface is pressed. Meanwhile, air in the small groove on the heat conducting surface is compressed, and at the moment, under the combined action of the external pressure, the capillary force and the air pressure in the small groove, the heat conducting surface and the liquid metal heat conducting sheet reach an optimal state. And when the temperature rises to be over-melting point, the liquid metal alloy is melted, and all gaps of the heat conducting surface are completely filled in a soaking way, so that the effects of low thermal resistance and high heat conduction are achieved.
The present invention will be specifically described below by way of examples. It should be noted that the following examples are only for illustrating the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention, and that the insubstantial modifications and adaptations of the present invention by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure are still within the scope of the present invention.
