  • Publication number: 20170292054
    Abstract: A highly porous heat dissipation coating by graphene-rich baking varnish consists of: graphene nanoflakes, at least one dispersants, binders, and carriers. The amount of graphene-rich nanoflakes accounts for 10 to 70 wt % of solid composition of a graphene baking varnish. The at least one dispersant is non-ionic or ionic dispersant. The binder is made of thermoplastic polymers. The carrier is selected from aqueous liquids, organic solvents, or a combination thereof. A post-baking treatment at relative high temperature (100 to 400° C.) is applied for enhancing the adhesion of heat dissipation coating on metal surface. Accordingly, the graphene-rich baking varnish enhances adhesion and improves heat dissipation rate by convection and radiation.

  • Publication number: 20170284612
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a hexagonal boron nitride laminate contains steps of: a) Dissolve dielectric polymers in solvent. b) Mixing h-BN powder to form a well-mixed h-BN coating slurry. c) Coating slurry on substrates and dried at 100-150° C. The substrates can directly be etched or processed to form electric circuits. Substrates can also be completely etched or detached to attain a free standing laminate. Thereby, a hexagonal boron nitride laminate exhibit thermal conductivity of 10 to 40 W/m·K, which is significantly larger than that currently used in thermal management. In addition, thermal conductivity of hexagonal boron nitride laminates increases with the increasing mass density, which opens a way of fine tuning of its thermal properties. For heat dissipation application, hexagonal boron nitride laminate coating can significantly enhance the performance of LED light bulb.

  • Publication number: 20160208124
    Abstract: A conductive ink composition for the wireless antenna with adhesion enhancement by carbon flakes that aims to enormously reduce the solid content of conductor and can be used to print antennas. For example, silver content of the ink composition is greatly decreased due to the absence of insulated binder. Carbon flakes (such as graphene nanoplatelets) are added as a conductive “cage” to reduce the use of insulated binder and significantly improve the conductivity of ink under low addition of conductor. Compression after printing is an innovative finding that not only improves the adhesion but also enhances the conductivity. Such effects are credited to excellent contact between interfaces of particles and substrate. The unique recipe and process save printing from high-temperature sintering, further reducing processing cost and widening applicable substrates.
