    [0001] The invention relates to boron nitride-based aggregate powders as well as their use in a polymer-ceramic or polymer-loaded composite, that is to say as a mixture of boron nitride-based aggregates. charge in a polymer matrix. The use of mineral particle powders as filler in the polymers is well known from the state of the art, this load making it possible to provide additional functionalities, depending in particular on the properties of the material constituting the filler. These functionalities are, for example, the increase of the thermal conductivity and / or the hardness and / or the density of the polymer. The charged polymers thus obtained find particular application in many technical fields such as thermal interface materials, such as thermal pastes or heat sinks, or printed circuit boards. In particular boron nitride (BN) powders are known to be used as filler in polymers. Among others, publications US2003 / 0073769, US2008 / 0076856, WO2008 / 088774 and WO2014 / 136959 in this field can be cited. The use of a BN powder is in particular known to increase the thermal conductivity of the polymer, which is particularly sought after in thermal interface material applications, such as thermal pastes. WO2014 / 136959 relates to a boron nitride powder suitable for use in a resin composition for transmitting heat from a heat producing electronic component. This boron nitride powder contains boron nitride particles, each consisting of primary particles of hexagonal boron nitride joined together.
    [0002] The BN aggregate powder has an average sphericity greater than 0.70, an average size of between 20 μm and 100 μm, a porosity of between 50% and 80%, an average pore diameter of between 0.10 and 2.0 μm, a maximum pore size of less than 10 μm and a calcium content of between 500 ppm and 5000 ppm. In paragraph [0020] of this application, it is otherwise indicated that the presence of a minimum calcium content is of paramount importance for obtaining the required properties. In particular, it is stated that said calcium content must be greater than 500 ppm in order for the aggregates to exhibit sintering sufficient to withstand the shaping stresses in the manufacture of the filled polymer. However, the tests conducted by the applicant company, as reported later, 20 have shown that it is possible to obtain aggregates whose attrition wear is much greater than that of aggregates in accordance with the teaching of this application. publication. One of the main objects of the present invention is therefore to provide an aggregate powder with low attrition wear, which also makes it possible, when mixed with different polymer matrices, to obtain good thermal conductivity.

Within the meaning of the present invention, the elements other than 0, C and N of said chemical composition, in particular boron and calcium, are conventionally measured on the aggregate powder by plasma torch spectrometry (or "AES"). ICP "in English). Within the meaning of the present invention, the elements 0, C and N of said chemical composition are conventionally measured on the aggregate powder by infrared spectrometry for the elements 0 and C, and by thermal conductivity for the element N, for example on a LECO TC 436DR series apparatus for the N and O elements and on a LECO SC 144DR series apparatus for the C element. For the purposes of the present invention, said structural composition is conventionally obtained from the aggregate powder 3037579 4 by X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. "Essentially constituted" is understood to mean that the vast majority of said powder consists of said boron nitride-based aggregates, without however excluding the presence of particles other than boron nitride-based aggregates, such as elementary particles of boron nitride. boron nitride, the latter being however necessarily in a very small amount, within the meaning of the present invention. In particular, it is meant that the powder contains more than 90% by weight, preferably more than 95% by weight, or even more than 99% by weight of said boron nitride-based aggregates.

In a particular embodiment, said other elements include a boron nitride sintering additive, in an amount preferably greater than or equal to 0.5%, preferably greater than 1% and less than 4%, preferably less than 3%, preferably less than 2%. The sintering additive of boron nitride is selected from LaB6; rare earth oxides, elements from columns 3 and 4 of the periodic table of elements and their mixtures; the nitrides of the elements in column 4 of the periodic table of the elements; and their mixtures. From 4 to 4%, preferably preferably, said sintering additive is selected from LaB6, Y203, nitrides of Ti, Zr, Si, Al elements and mixtures thereof.

    [0003] In said physical characteristics: the aggregate powder has an average circularity greater than or equal to 0.92, preferably greater than or equal to 0.93, or even greater than or equal to 0.94, or even greater than or equal to 0.95 .
    [0004] To evaluate the circularity "Ci" of an aggregate P, we determine the PD perimeter of the disk D having an area equal to the area Ap of the aggregate P on a snapshot of this aggregate. The perimeter Pr of this aggregate is also determined. The circularity is equal to the PD / Pr ratio of 2 * VzA 20 Ci. The longer the aggregate is elongated, the lower the Pr circularity. The average circularity of an aggregate powder within the meaning of the present invention corresponds to the arithmetic mean of the different values obtained for the population of aggregates constituting the powder. All the known measurement methods to evaluate the circularity can be envisaged, and in particular a manual or automated observation of photographic clichés of the aggregates, for example on a Morphologi® G3S apparatus marketed by the company Malvern. Such an apparatus also makes it possible to determine the average circularity of an aggregate powder.

    [0006] The median pore size of the aggregate powder is evaluated by mercury porosimetry according to ISO 15901-1. The "median size" of a set of pores, denoted D50, is the size dividing the pores of this set into first and second populations equal in volume, these first and second populations having only pores having a larger size. or lower, respectively, at said median size. The aggregate powder has an open porosity of less than 53%, preferably less than 50%, preferably less than 49%, even less than 47%, or even less than 45%.

The aggregate powder has a ratio (D90-D10) / D50 of less than 10, preferably less than 5, or even less than 3, or even less than 2. Advantageously, the flowability of the powder is improved. Preferably, the aggregates comprise randomly oriented boron nitride platelets. The properties of said aggregates are then essentially isotropic. The "median size" of a set of aggregates (or grains), denoted D50, is the size dividing the aggregates (grains) of this set into a first and a second mass equal populations, these first and second populations having only aggregates (grains) having a larger or smaller size, respectively, than said median size. Percentiles 10 (denoted by Dn), 90 (denoted D90) and 99.5 (denoted D99.5) are called aggregate sizes (grains), corresponding to the percentages equal to 10%, 90% and 99 respectively. , 5%, by mass, on the cumulative particle size distribution curve of the aggregate sizes (grains) of the powder, said aggregate sizes (grains) being ranked in ascending order. According to this definition, 10% by weight of the aggregates of the powder have a size less than D10 and 90% of the aggregates, by mass, have a size greater than D10. Percentiles are determined using a particle size distribution using a laser granulometer. The "maximum size" of a powder is called the 99.5 percentile.
    [0008] The particle size distribution of the aggregates (granules) powders according to the invention is for example determined by Laser Diffusion on a Camsizer granulometer marketed by Retsch Technologies, without suspending said powder beforehand. Of this particle size distribution are conventionally determined the median size D50, the percentile 10 (D10) and the percentile 90 (D90), as well as the maximum size (D99.5).

Without departing from the scope of the invention, the powder consisting essentially of boron nitride-based aggregates according to the invention may be premixed, before it is introduced into said polymer, with another powder, for example a powder of aggregates of alumina. In other words, the present invention also relates to any powder mixture comprising the powder consisting essentially of boron nitride-based aggregates described above. The invention and its advantages will be better understood on reading the following exemplary embodiments, provided solely for illustrative and non-limiting purposes of the present invention. The boron nitride aggregate powder according to Comparative Example 1 is a PCTL5MHF powder marketed by Saint-Gobain Boron Nitride.
    [0013] The boron nitride aggregate powder according to Comparative Example 2 is a PCTH7MHF powder marketed by Saint-Gobain Boron Nitride. The boron nitride aggregate powder according to Comparative Example 3 is manufactured using the following process: a boron nitride powder, having an oxygen content equal to 5% by weight, a calcium content equal to At 100 ppm, a content of elements other than oxygen and calcium of less than 1% by weight is milled dry in a ball mill so that it has a median size of 3 μm. The powder is then sieved through a sieve with a mesh size equal to 80 micron and then pressed in the form of pellets 50 mm in diameter on an isostatic press at a pressure of 200 MPa. The relative density of the pellets obtained is 45%. The pellets obtained are then crushed using a roller mill, then lapped in a ball mill in which the balls were removed, for 1 hour, said grinder rotating at a speed equal to 5 rpm, then sieved, with ultrasonic application, at 90 μm and at 45 μm, and finally thermally treated under nitrogen in a cycle having a rise rate of 100 ° C./h at 2000 ° C., a hold time at this temperature 2h and a descent of 300 ° C / h. The powder thus obtained is finally sieved so as to keep the particle size range between 45 μm and 90 μm. The boron nitride aggregate powder according to Example 4, according to the present invention, is manufactured using the following process: a powder of boron nitride Saint-Gobain Boron Nitride PUHP30005 having an equal oxygen content at 1% by weight, a calcium content equal to 100 ppm, a median size equal to 1 μm, is sieved on a sieve of 80 microns and then pressed in the form of pellets 50 mm in diameter on an isostatic press at a pressure of 200 MPa. The relative density of the pellets obtained is equal to 75%. The pellets obtained are then crushed using a roller mill, then lapped in a ball mill 20 in which the balls were removed for 1 hour, said grinder rotating at a speed equal to 5 rpm, then sieved, with ultrasound application, at 90 μm and at 45 μm, and finally thermally treated under nitrogen in a cycle having a rise rate of 100 ° C./h at 2000 ° C., a holding time at this temperature 2h and a descent of 300 ° C / h. The powder thus obtained is finally sieved so as to maintain a particle size range of between 45 μm and 90 μm. Table 1 below groups together the characteristics of the powders of Examples 1 to 4, after elemental, structural and physical analysis carried out using the techniques described above. 303 75 79 18 1 (*) 2 (*) 3 (*) 4 Chemical analysis (weight data) B (%) 43 43 43 43 N (%) 56 56 56 56 Ca (ppm) 500 300 20 20 other elements (%) <1 <1 <1 <1 Of which 0 (ppm) 1000 1000 1000 1000 Of which C (ppm) 100 100 100 100 Phases crystallized in the presence and amount in% based on crystalline phases boron nitride 100 100 100 100 Other physical characteristics Circularity 0.77 0.75 0.9 0.93 Open Porosity (%) 57 50 58 48 Median Pore Size (pm) 0.75 0.7 0.16 0.18 D50 Aggregates (pm) Table 1 The content of boron oxide, as measured by titration with mannitol, is of the order of 0.1% for all the examples.
    [0014] The attrition wear of the powders obtained according to Examples 1 to 4 is then estimated by means of the following test: 20 g of aggregate powder passing through the sieves of a sieve of opening equal to 90 μm and not passing through the sieves of an opening sieve of 45 μm are placed in a closed nylon container, so that said powder occupies 45% of the volume of said container. The vessel is then stirred for 120 minutes at a rotational speed of 20 rpm in a jar. After testing, the mass of particles passing through the meshes of a sieve of opening equal to 45 pm is determined. It corresponds to the amount of fine particles created during the test. This amount of fine particles generated, or "attrition wear", is expressed as a percentage of the mass of the powder prior to testing. The higher the amount of fine particles generated during the test, the greater the attrition wear of the aggregate powder. Attrition wear greater than 20% is considered to lead to a significant decrease in the thermal conductivity of the charged polymer having said aggregates. Preferably, the attrition wear is less than 15%, preferably less than 10%. The decrease in attrition wear of aggregate powder A with respect to aggregate powder B is equal to the difference in attrition wear of powder A and attrition wear of powder B, divided by the attrition wear of powder A, expressed in percentages, powder A being the powder considered as reference. The powders obtained according to Examples 1 to 4 are then used as filler in a conventional polymer matrix of the TSE3033 silicone resin type marketed by Momentive Performance Materials. The inclusion and dispersion of the aggregates in the polymer matrix are carried out according to the following protocol: Each powder is dispersed in the silicone resin TSE3033 (the two parts A and B of the resin being mixed in an equal amount, by weight) at room temperature. In a Rayneri VMI Turbotest mixer sold by the company VMI with a rotational speed of 200 rpm. The mass of powder introduced is equal to 40%, based on the sum of the mass of the silicone resin TSE3033 and the mass of the powder. Each mixture thus obtained is then cast so as to obtain a film having a thickness equal to 5 mm. Said film is then heated at a temperature equal to 100 ° C for a time equal to 2 hours. Through-flow thermal conductivity measurements are made on each obtained polymer film, the through-flow thermal conductivity denotes the thermal conductivity measured in the direction perpendicular to the polymer film, that is, measured according to the thickness of said film.
    [0015] Measurements are made according to the following experimental standards and protocols: Thermal conductivity is conventionally given by the product of diffusivity, density and heat capacity. More particularly, according to the invention, the "through plane" thermal conductivity is measured by the product of the through-thermal diffusivity, the density and the heat capacity. The thermal diffusivity of the polymers is measured according to the ASTM C-518 standard by the heat flow method. The diffusivity is measured perpendicular to the polymer layer (thermal diffusivity through).
    [0016] The thermal capacity of the polymers is measured by differential scanning calorimetry ("DSC") on a Netzsch thermobalance. The density of the polymers is measured by pycnometry with helium. The improvement of the thermal conductivity of a charged polymer comprising an aggregate powder A with respect to a charged polymer comprising an aggregate powder B is equal to the difference in the thermal conductivity of the charged polymer comprising the powder B and the thermal conductivity of the charged polymer comprising powder A, divided by the thermal conductivity of the charged polymer comprising powder A, expressed in percentages (the charged polymer comprising powder A being the reference polymer of reference).
    [0017] 303 75 79 21 The results of attrition attrition tests of aggregate powders and thermal conductivity measurements are shown in Table 2 below: Example Circularity Porosity average size Open content Decrease in wear due to attrition of the powder Example / powder according to Example 1 conductivity Improvement of (%) average wear by (%) thermal conductivity of pores (Pm) calcium attrition of thermal polymer (ppm) (%) charged with polymer loaded powder with the pellet powder of the example / polymer loaded with the example powder 0A // mK) according to Example 1 (%) 1 (*) 0.77 57 0.75 500 31 - 0.5 - 2 (*) 0.75 50 0.7 300 23 26 0.8 60 3 (*) 0.9 58 0.16 20 25 19 0.5 0 4 0.93 48 0.18 20 7 77 1 100 (*) The data reported in Table 2 show that the boron nitride-based aggregate powder according to the invention exhibits an attrition wear measured at 7% and that the charged polymer obtained in FIG. From the boron nitride aggregate powder according to the invention has a through thermal conductivity much higher than that of all other samples.
    [0018] More specifically, the aggregate powder according to Example 1 in accordance with the teaching of document WO2014 / 136959 does not satisfy the compromise sought: In particular, attrition wear appears higher than that of Example 4 according to the invention.
    [0019] The best compromise is not satisfied either by the aggregate powder according to Example 2 (excluding the invention) and the charged polymer comprising said powder: although lower than that of Example 1, the wear attrition of the aggregate powder is still too high. The thermal conductivity of the charged polymer comprising said powder is, however, substantially greater (by 60%) than that of the filled polymer comprising the powder of Example 1. As regards the aggregate powder according to the example 3 (outside the invention) not comprising calcium and the charged polymer comprising said powder, it is found that attrition wear of the aggregate powder is still too high and that the thermal conductivity of the charged polymer comprising said powder is The best results and compromises are obtained for the aggregate powder according to Example 4 according to the invention and the charged polymer comprising said powder: The attrition wear of the aggregate powder is limited to only 7%, ie much less than the attrition wear of the aggregate powders of Comparative Examples 1, 2 and 3. The thermal conductivity of the charged polymer comprising the aggregate powder according to Example 4 is in particular of the order of twice that of the filled polymer comprising the powder according to Example 1 and in the highest absolute of all samples tested. A comparison between the aggregate powders of Examples 1 and 4 thus makes it possible to demonstrate the significant improvement obtained according to the invention by a specific adjustment of the open porosity parameters, of the calcium content, of the circularity of the aggregates. and the average size of the pores.
    [0020] In particular, in view of the teaching of the previous publication WO2014 / 136959 described above, the applicant company has demonstrated the cumulative impact of the decrease in the average pore size, the decrease in the calcium content, the decreasing open porosity and increasing circularity on the attrition resistance and thermal conductivity properties of the filled polymer comprising said powders. In particular, if we compare the examples 1 (according to WO2014 / 136959) and 4 (according to the invention), it can be seen that: the attrition wear decreases from 31% to 7%, ie a decrease equal to 77%, the thermal conductivity of the charged polymer increases from 0.5 to 1 W / mK and is improved by 100%.
    [0021] Unexpectedly, in view of the best compromise achieved by their adjustment in accordance with the present invention, the inventors have thus demonstrated a true synergy between the characteristics of circularity, open porosity, average pore size and content. in calcium. 20
