Preparation and Characterization of Polyimide/Alumina Nano-micro Composites for Rail Transportation Equipment by Jiming GAO, Jie LIU, Qian JIANG, Jun YANG, Limin ZHANG, Jin WANG

“…The effect of the ratio of particle size (30 nm/0.2 μm/1 μm) and the imidization temperature on the properties of the polyimide composites was investigated. The results show that the polyimide composite films prepared at the appropriate imidization temperature have good thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, electrical properties and thermal stability when the ratio of alumina particle size (30 nm/0.2 μm/1 μm) is 1:2:7.…”
