Abstract

To improve the dielectric properties and thermal conductivities of epoxy resins (EP), titanium dioxide superfine powders with microspheres structure (S-TiO2) were prepared via a hydrothermal process based on the sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate and hydroxyl silicate. The different content of S-TiO2 was then employed as modifiers to add into EP resin to prepare the S-TiO2/EP composites. The structure and morphology of the prepared S-TiO2 was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and influences of different addition of S-TiO2 on the thermal conductivity of S-TiO2/EP composites are researched, while their dielectric constant and dielectric loss are also studied. The results suggested that the reasonable content of S-TiO2 can endow the S-TiO2/EP composites with higher dielectric constant without excessive increase their dielectric loss even under the high frequency. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of S-TiO2/EP are also be improved, which can be attributed to the good thermal conductivity of S-TiO2 itself and the thermal conductivity path formed by S-TiO2 inside the EP matrix.
