In the search for new packaging materials for the electrical/electronics industry, three types of polymer composites have been studied. Silicone/boron nitride powders, polyurethane/alumina powders, and polyurethane/carbon fibers have all been synthesized to study the moisture-absorption kinetics, thermal conductivities, and the dielectric loss spectra under various levels of humidity. The water uptake data indicate that water molecules are absorbed not only by the polymer matrix, but also by the interfaces introduced by the fillers. For all materials, the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy shows the presence of a peak in the 175-200 K range, which is largely due to absorbed water. The silicone/boron nitride samples absorbed the least amount of moisture. Incorporating this result with the thermal conductivity data of the three types of polymer composites, it is concluded that silicone polymers embedded with boron nitride can best serve as the coating for the electronic devices that require heat dissipation and moisture resistance, in addition to electrical insulation.
