A systematic study on preparation, properties, and UV aging stability of PBF-based composites for optoelectronic packaging
摘要
The expanding application of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in automotive lighting and outdoor displays has exposed the limitations of conventional epoxy resin encapsulants, including inadequate heat resistance, susceptibility to UV-induced yellowing, and vulnerability to damp-heat aging. Additionally, their non-biodegradability conflicts with the trends of green manufacturing. To address these challenges, this study proposes an environmentally robust alternative: a polybutylene fumarate (PBF)/N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) composite fabricated via melt blending. Systematic evaluations confirm its excellent overall performance. The incorporation of NVP raises the thermal decomposition temperature above 280 °C, ensuring stable operation under high-temperature conditions. Optically, the composite maintains a transmittance of over 98.1% transmittance in the visible spectrum (350–800 nm), and NVP effectively suppresses UV-induced yellowing, thus exhibiting superior UV aging resistance. Mechanically, it achieves a maximum bonding strength of 7.39 MPa while retaining a tensile strength exceeding 3.29 MPa, successfully balancing flexibility with structural integrity. By leveraging the synergistic effect between the biodegradable PBF matrix and the high-performance NVP modifier, this material overcomes the performance and environmental limitations of existing packaging materials, providing an innovative solution for the green packaging of high-reliability, long-lifespan LED devices.
