Studies on the Thermal Conductivity of Al2O3/Epoxy Resin Composite Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Al2O3/epoxy resin composite materials were prepared with alumina as filler in this paper, and the effects of particle size and added quantity of Al2O3 powers on the thermal conductivity of the composites have been investigated. The results show that, thermal conductivity of the composites increases with the increase of the added quantity of Al2O3 powders, and suitable particle size of alumina filler could help to form heat conductive chain which can improve the thermal conductivity of the composites effectively. The thermal conductivity could reach 0.48 W/(m•K), which is five times than that of pure epoxy resin, when the amount of alumina powders is 60% and its mean particle size is 100µm.
