To enhance the thermal and electrical conductivities of epoxy composites, we prepared epoxy composites contacting hybrid fillers consisting of graphite (G), expanded graphite (EG), and copper powder (Cu). Among these fillers, EG was electrolessly silver (Ag)-plated to improve the better conductivity properties of the composites. Ag–EG, G, and Cu were incorporated into the epoxy resins to form hybrid composites (Ag–EG/G/Cu). The Ag–EG surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscope, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thermal and electrical conductivities of Ag–EG/G/Cu were tested using a laser flash analysis and a four-point probe electrical resistivity tester, respectively. The results indicated that the thermal and electrical conductivities of the composites were enhanced by the addition of the hybrid fillers with the creation of an interconnecting conductive pathway. |
