Enhancing Thermal Conductivity of Polyvinylidene Fluoride Composites by Carbon Fiber: Length Effect of the Filler

Abstract: Thermally conductive polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites were prepared by incorporating carbon fibers (CFs) with different lengths (286.6 ± 7.1 and 150.0 ± 2.3 µm) via cold pressing, followed by sintering. The length effects of the CF on the thermal conductivity, polymer crystallization behaviors, and mechanical properties of the PVDF composites were studied. The through-plane thermal conductivity of the PVDF composites increased significantly with the rise in CF loadings. The highest thermal conductivit… Show more

“…The deconvoluted data determines the degree of crystallinity for each PVDF membrane. The relative crystallinity of each PVDF matrix in each membrane is determined based on the total enthalpy change of melting compared to the enthalpy of 100 % crystalline PVDF, which is 104.5 Jg −1 for the α phase and 103.4 Jg −1 for the β and γ phases [45,48] . Figure 3c and d displays the melting enthalpy and the degree of crystallinity for each membrane.…”

“…The relative crystallinity of each PVDF matrix in each membrane is determined based on the total enthalpy change of melting compared to the enthalpy of 100 % crystalline PVDF, which is 104.5 Jg À 1 for the α phase and 103.4 Jg À 1 for the β and γ phases. [45,48] Figure 3c and d displays the melting enthalpy and the degree of crystallinity for each membrane. The crystallization of the PVDF matrix occurs during the phase inversion coagulation process, which involves rapid cooling of the dope solution, resulting in an amorphous phase in the PVDF matrix.…”

“…The piezoelectric properties of PVDF mainly depend on the polar crystalline phase, especially the highest electric dipole moment, namely, the β Phase [ 67 ]. Therefore, in order to increase the β Phase content in materials, researchers have proposed a variety of methods, including thermal annealing [ 68 , 69 , 70 ], uniaxial stretching [ 71 ], the use of a high electrical field [ 72 , 73 ], electrospinning [ 74 , 75 , 76 ], surface charge approaches [ 77 , 78 ], curing processes [ 79 ], etc.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Polymers have attracted increasing attention owing to their unique properties such as ease of processing, low weight, low cost, high chemical stability, and excellent mechanical properties [5][6][7] ; however, most polymers are thermal insulators, and their intrinsic TC is often <0.5 W/(mK). 8,9 To address this issue, various materials, such as metals (e.g., silver, 10 cupper 11 ), ceramic materials (e.g., boron nitride, [12][13][14] alumina, 15 alumina nitride 16 ), and carbonbased materials (e.g., carbon fiber (CF), [17][18][19][20] carbon nanotubes, 21,22 graphene, [23][24][25] graphite 26,27 ) have been incorporated into polymers to improve their TCs.…”
