Abstract

In this work, the copper-supported mesoporous carbon (Cu-CMK-3) materials were prepared by impregnating mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) with copper (II) acetylacetonate. And the effects of the supported-copper on thermal properties of the epoxy/Cu-CMK-3 were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and thermal conductivity. As experimental results, the supported-copper on CMK-3 was confirmed from the decreasing of the BET surface area and the pore volume. The curing reactivities of DGEBF/Cu-CMK-3 were decreased with the supported-copper. Also, the initial decomposition temperature (IDT) of DGEBF/Cu-CMK-3 was higher than that of DGEBF/CMK-3. This could be interpreted in terms of high thermal dissipation properties resulting in the Cu existing in the pore volume. Thermal conductivity of DGEBF /Cu-CMK-3 was considerably increased with usage of the coppersupported mesoporous carbon.
