Abstract:

In this paper, a type of functionally gradient flexible substrates based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/SiC composites was proposed, and the corresponding 3D printing manufacturing method and process flow were presented. The effects of SiC particle size and content on the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the PDMS/SiC substrates were investigated. Moreover, the effects and laws of process parameters such as backpressure, printing speed, line spacing, and temperature on the manufacturing accuracy of the PDMS/SiC substrates were studied. The results indicated that compared to the pure PDMS substrate, the performance of the PDMS/SiC substrates was improved in the presence of SiC. The PDMS/SiC substrates exhibited an increase in elastic modulus by 2.76 times and in thermal conductivity by 2.22 times when the particle size and content of SiC were 600 nm and 45 wt%, respectively.
