  • Publication number: 20150313041
    Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene dissipation structure including a substrate and a graphene dissipation layer. The substrate has at least two surfaces. One of the surfaces contacts at least one heat source, and another one is not in contact with the heat source and provided with the graphene dissipation layer, which includes surface-modified graphene nanometer sheets, a carrier resin and a filler. The surface-modified graphene nanometer sheets are well dispersed in the carrier resin, and enhanced to contact each other through the filler to form a thermal conductive network. The ratio of the particle size of the filler and the thickness of the graphene nanometer sheets is about 2 to 100. Therefore, the heat absorbed by the substrate from the heat source is transferred to the graphene dissipation layer, and further dissipated to the outside through thermal conduction or radiation, thereby achieving the function of heat dissipation.

  • Publication number: 20150294752
    Abstract: Disclosed is a graphene masterbatch including a base resin, electrically conductive carbon black, graphene nanoplatelets with modified surface and a dispersant. The modified surface of graphene nanoplatelet is formed by a modifying agent containing a coupling compound so as to possess hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional groups, which help graphene nanoplatelets form chemical bonding with carbon black and the base resin. Since the modified surface makes graphene nanoplatelets evenly dispersed in the base resin, the graphene masterbatch of the present invention is suitably melt blended with a polymer material to form a composite material such that graphene nanoplatelets are evenly dispersed in the polymer material, thereby enhancing junction strength, increasing mechanical properties, and improving anti-oxidation, acid/base resistance, and thermal conductivity.
