Low thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) of polyimide (PI) films are limiting their application in high-power electronic equipments, and the disordered alignment of fillers discourage efficient improvement of λ for PI-based composite films. Herein, polyethylene glycol trimethylnonyl ether is used to perform liquid crystalline modification on graphene fluoride (LC-GeF) to achieve ordered alignment. Intrinsically thermally conductive liquid crystalline PI (LC-PI) matrix is utilized to fabricate thermally conductive LC-GeF/LC-PI composite films. In-plane λ (λ∥) and through-plane λ (λ⊥) of 15 wt% LC-GeF/LC-PI composite films reach 4.21 and 0.63 W/(m·K), 446.8% and 320.0% higher than λ∥ (0.77 W/(m·K)) and λ⊥ (0.15 W/(m·K)) of normal PI films, 99.5% and 96.9% higher than λ∥ (2.11 W/(m·K)) and λ⊥ (0.32 W/(m·K)) of LC-PI films, also higher than 15 wt% GeF/LC-PI composite films. Additionally, LC-GeF/LC-PI composite films possess more excellent insulating, mechanical and thermal properties than GeF/LC-PI composite films.
聚酰亞胺（PI）膜較低的本征導(dǎo)熱系數(shù)（λ）限制了其在高功率電子設(shè)備中的應(yīng)用。常規(guī)PI基導(dǎo)熱復(fù)合膜中的導(dǎo)熱填料往往無(wú)序排列，阻礙了λ的高效提升。本文采用聚乙二醇三甲基壬基醚（TMN）對(duì)“溶劑插層-超聲剝離”法制備的氟化石墨烯（GeF）進(jìn)行液晶化改性（LC-GeF），再與本征導(dǎo)熱液晶PI（LC-PI）基體復(fù)合制備LC-GeF/LC-PI導(dǎo)熱復(fù)合膜。當(dāng)LC-GeF導(dǎo)熱填料的質(zhì)量分?jǐn)?shù)為15 wt%時(shí)，LC-GeF/LC-PI導(dǎo)熱復(fù)合膜室溫下的面內(nèi)λ（λ∥）和面間λ（λ⊥）分別達(dá)到4.21 W/(m·K)和0.63 W/(m·K)，較普通PI膜的λ∥（0.77 W/(m·K)）和λ⊥（0.15 W/(m·K)）提升了446.8%和320.0%，較本征導(dǎo)熱LC-PI膜的λ∥（2.11 W/(m·K)）和λ⊥（0.32 W/(m·K)）提升了99.5%和96.9%，也高于相同填料用量下GeF/LC-PI導(dǎo)熱復(fù)合膜。此外，相同填料用量下，LC-GeF/LC-PI復(fù)合膜還具有較GeF/LC-PI復(fù)合膜更加優(yōu)異的絕緣性能、力學(xué)性能和熱性能。
