Abstract:To improve the compatibility of BN nanosheets (BNNSs) with epoxy resin (EP) matrix as well as the AC breakdown strength and thermal conductivity of BN/EP nanocomposites, BNNSs were hydroxylated by Ar+H2O bipolar nanosecond pulse dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) low temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure and then modified by silane coupling agent KH560 in this paper. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that the hydroxyl content of the BNNSs surface increases nearly 2 times after plasma modification. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) show that plasma modification enhances the dehydration condensation reaction of BNNSs with silane coupling agent, and the coating amount of silane coupling agent on the BNNSs surface increases by 45%. The thermal stimulation depolarization current (TSDC) test shows that the plasma and silane coupling agent modified composites have more deep traps than the silane coupling agent modified composites. The breakdown test shows that the AC breakdown strength of the composites after plasma modification is improved under different filling contents. The filling content of BNNSs increases from 10% to 20% while maintaining a certain insulation strength. Meanwhile, the thermal conductivity of the composites increases by 67% as the filling content increases from 10% (silane coupling agent treated) to 20% (plasma and silane coupling agent treated).
