Dynamic mechanical properties of polystyrene-aluminum nitride composite
A composite of aluminum nitride (AlN) particles dispersed around polystyrene matrix particles was synthesized in this study. The purpose of using this microstructure is to improve the thermal properties of a polymer at a low filler content with a minimal increase in the dielectric constant of the polymer composite to meet the material requirements for electronic packaging. The dynamic mechanical properties of this type of polystyrene-AlN composite were investigated here. The experimental results indicate that the dynamic mechanical property of the polystyrene-AlN composite is a function of the polystyrene particle size, AlN filler concentration, and temperature under this dispersion state. The addition of an AlN concentration into polystyrene increases both the storage modulus and the alpha-transition temperature. The smaller polystyrene particle size gives a higher storage modulus and damping peak.
