Abstract

Aluminum nitride (AlN) composites powders with hydrolysis resistance were successfully fabricated by chemically grafting titanate coupling agents (KR-238S) and poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone-co-itaconic acid) (NVP-IA). The results from TEM/EDS, FT-IR, XPS, pH measurements, XRD, SEM/EDS, Zeta potential and TG indicated that the surface of AlN particle were victoriously coated using a dip-coating method. The TEM results showed that a wrapping layer approximately 10–20 nm thick was formed on the surface of the AlN powders, shaping up as a core–shell structure to isolate contact with water molecules. Measuring the pH value of AlN powders in deionized water at 25 °C is to investigate the hydrolytic behavior. The Al(OH)3 was formed within 12 h of the original AlN powders being hydrolyzed, whereas the modified AlN particles maintained their morphology and crystal structure for 276 h to against hydrolysis. In particular, the zeta potential analysis demonstrates that M-AlN has stronger absolute zeta values due to the hydrophilicity of vinylpyrrolidone. The results obtained from the thermal gravimetric analysis also revealed that NVP-IA vaporizes at high temperatures. Therefore, this study provides a novel NVP-IA/AlN composites produced via using a simple cladding modification method, and find a new way to improve the hydrolysis resistance of AlN powders.
