Abstract:With dimethyl silicone oil as a base, the single-component thermal grease with one filler material and binary mixture thermal grease with two filler materials have been prepeared by adding Al, Cu, Ag, AlN, SiC, graphite papticles with different contents and different sizes. The influence of stearic acid surface treatment, the material type, size and content of the fillers on the conductivity of the thermal grease have been investigated. It is found that treating Al or AlN by stearic acid can increase the thermal conductivity of the corresponding thermal grease, but can not increase that of graphite, SiC, Cu-containing gease; the optimal ratio of filler should be in the range of 0.55~0.60. When Ag particles is used as a second filler to reinforce the Al and AlN-based grease, the enhancement of thermal conductivity is higher than AlN and Cu, typically, the thermal conductivity of Ag/AlN binary mixtures grease can be up to 5.5W/(m·K). The as-prepared thermal grease has been applied to cool LEDs, it shows that their actual heat dissipation effect is better than the commercially available thermal interface materials.
