With the large-scale application and high-speed operation of electronic equipment, the thermal diffusion problem presents an increasing requirement for effective heat dissipation materials. Herein, high thermal conductive graphite films were fabricated via the graphitization of polyimide (PI) films with different amounts of chemical catalytic reagent. The results showed that chemically imidized PI (CIPI) films exhibit a higher tensile strength, thermal stability, and imidization degree than that of purely thermally imidized PI (TIPI) films. The graphite films derived from CIPI films present a more complete crystal orientation and ordered arrangement. With only 0.72% chemical catalytic reagent, the graphitized CIPI film achieved a high thermal conductivity of 1767 W·m−1·K−1, which is much higher than that of graphited TIPI film (1331 W·m−1·K−1), with an increase of 32.8%. The high thermal conductivity is attributed to the large in-plane crystallite size and high crystal integrity. It is believed that the chemical imidization method prioritizes the preparation of high-quality PI films and helps graphite films achieve an excellent performance.
The reactivity index of weight loss (RI) and tumbling strength after the reaction (I10600) of manufacturing coke were first tested at a temperature series of 1100, 1200, and 1300 °C under CO2 atmosphere with different compositions and duration times to study the effects of temperature, time, and gas composition on coke hot strength. Then the RI/I10600, carbon structure, and optical texture of the cokes prepared from different single coals were mainly studied after a solution reaction with CO2 under a high temperature of 1300 °C and a standard temperature of 1100 °C. It was found that temperature greatly affects the RI/I10600 of coke, especially at high temperatures up to 1300 °C. Compared with standard tests under 1100 °C, the changes of RI/I10600 for different cokes are very different at 1300 °C, and the changes are greatly related to coke optical texture. Under a high temperature in the testing method, the tumbling strength of cokes with more isotropy increased, whereas it decreased for those with less isotropy. This simple method of using high temperature could yield the same results when compared with complicated simulated blast furnace conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
