Poly(ether ketone ketone)/hollow silicon dioxide microspheres substrate films and/or the application for wireless sixth generation communication
摘要
The effects of average densities of hollow silicas microspheres (HSM) or solid silica microspheres (SSM)) on dielectric and/or thermal-resistant characteristics of poly(ether ketone ketone) (PEKK)/HSM and PEKK/SSM films were methodically investigated. Dielectric constant (εr) and loss (tan δ) values of PEKK/HSM or PEKK/SSM films are minimized, as their HSM or SSM loadings approach a corrreesponding optimum value, and the minimized dielectric characteristic values of PEKK/HSM or PEKK/SSM films diminish notably with decreasing HSM (or SSM) average densities. The values of linear thermal expansion coefficient (LTEC) attained for PEKK/HSM or PEKK/SSM films diminish, however, their thermal degradation temperatures enlarge appreciably with increasing HSM or SSM loadings. Inspiringly small εr/tan δ and excellent thermal stability is attained for suitably made PEKK/HSM substrate films, that may meet the requirements for 6G communication system in the future. The free volume characteristic values attained for PEKK/HSM or PEKK/SSM films are maximized, as HSM or SSM loadings reach a corresponding optimum value. The approving effect of HSM or SSM on reducing εr or tan δ of PEKK/HSM and PEKK/SSM films are mostly attributed to the inherently small εr or tan δ of hollow silicas microspheres fillers, or air contained in tiny free volume holes of PEKK matrices or interfaces of PEKK/HSM or PEKK/SSM, that is predicted to diminish the values of dielectric characteristics.
