Abstract
A series of polyimide (PI)/silver composite films incorporating μm-sized metallic silver particles (Ag-MPs) were prepared using matrices of sulfur(SD), fluorine(TF), and siliconcontaining (SIM) PIs as well as an immiscible blend of SDand TF-PIs (b-SF). The thermal conductivity (λ ) of the composited films accords well with the calculated value (λcal) based on the Bruggeman model below the particle contents ( ) of 30 vol%, whereas the composite films of SD/Ag and b-SF/Ag exhibited extraordinarily larger λ values than λcal in the range of >30 vol%. Moreover, the λ s of SD/Ag films with uniform dispersion of Ag-MPs are almost equivalent to those of b-SF/Ag films in which Ag-MPs are selectively dispersed in the SD phase. In contrast, the λ s of SIM/Ag films with homogeneous dispersion accord well with the λcal and much smaller than those of SD/Ag and b-SF/Ag. These facts indicate that effective thermal conductive paths were spontaneously generated in SD/Ag films as well as in b-SF/Ag films.
