Abstract

AbstractIn this article, the use of copolymeric dispersants with an acrylic backbone and epoxy side groups for formulating carbon black (CB)‐epoxy composites are described. Six epoxy‐containing acrylic copolymer dispersants were prepared from hexyl methacrylate (HMA), poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), and glycidyl methacrylate via a group transfer polymerization technique. The epoxy‐containing acrylic copolymer of the highest concentration of PEGMA showed a desirable passivation effect on CB, and was found to lower the viscosity of the CB‐epoxy paste, leading to the well‐cured composite after heat treatment. The thick composite film prepared by employing the [CB/acrylic dispersant/epoxy] paste was built up on a Cu plate by a screen printing process followed by thermal curing. The dielectric properties of the 3.1 vol % CB‐filled epoxy film showed us high dielectric constant (Dk 4900) and rather low dissipation factor (Df 29%) at 1 MHz. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
