Abstract

The effects of aluminum nitride (AlN) loading and size on the thermal conductivity of bisphenol A-aniline-based polybenzoxazine resin were studied. The experimental data of the thermal conductivity, CTE, and dielectric constants of these hybrids were compared with those predicted using various models. The morphological analysis revealed the formation of AlN conductive chains in the polybenzoxazine matrix. The thermal conductivity values of these hybrids gradually increased as the AlN fillers content increased and their sizes decreased. The highest thermal conductivity value reached 7.89 W m−1 K−1 at 60 vol% of 50 nm AlN. At the maximum AlN loading, the CTE values of these hybrids were reduced by 75 %, while their dielectric constants are raised by almost 45 %. The TG results showed significant improvements in the thermal degradation properties of these composites by adding the AlN filler; moreover, the Agari semiempirical model well-fitted the thermal conductivity experimental data of these materials.
