Abstract

Although composite materials are increasingly utilized in general high-strength structures, the demand of performance characteristics as the multifunctional materials has been increased especially in the area of complex electronic devices. While the heat dissipation properties of devices are typically required properties, control of thermal property of composite material especially in the vertical direction is one of the problems to be solved due to its lamination process. In this study, CFRP was manufactured using the Vacuum filtration method for three types of solvent and CFs. In the composite material manufacturing process, the effect of solvent was examined using three solvents where solvents are most frequently used for the dispersion of fibers. Morphology of fiber was observed through a microscope to confirm the arrangement of CFs in the vertical direction. The alignment of fiber was examined through the measurement of the thermal conductivity of the manufactured specimen. For the thermal conductivity measurement, the higher thermal conductivity was obtained with the lower aspect ratio of CF. For the thermal conductivity in the through-plane direction, 8.687 W/m·K, 10.322 W/m·K, and 13.005 W/m·K of thermal conductivity was measured in the DMF, NMP and Acetone, respectively


복합재료는 일반적인 고강도 구조체에 활용성이 증가하고 있지만 최신의 복합적인 전자기기 내부 소자 등과 같은 multifunctional 재료들의 성능 특성 요구가 증가하고 있다. 기기의 방열 특성의 경우 대표적으로 요구되는 물성인 반면 복합재료의 경우 적층 공정으로 인해 수직 방향의 열적 특성 제어는 해결해야 될 문제 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 vacuum filtration 방법을 이용하여 Carbon fiber reinforced polymer를 제작하였다. 복합재료 제작 공정에서는 섬유들의 분산에 활용성이 가장 뛰어난 세 가지 solvent들을 사용하여 solvent의 영향을 살펴보았다. 또한 세가지의 aspect ratio를 가지는 단섬유 carbon fiber들의 수직 방향의 배열성을 확인하기 위해 현미경을 통한 morphology를 관찰하였고 제작된 시편의 열전도도 측정을 통해 배열성을 검토하였다. 시편의 열전도도 측정 결과 단섬유 carbon fiber의 aspect ratio가 낮을수록 높은 열전도도를 보였으며 through-plane 방향의 열전도도는 DMF, NMP, Acetone 순으로 각각 8.69 W/m·K, 10.32 W/m·K, 13.01 W/m·K의 증가되는 값을 보였다
