2.2 Thermal stability and conductivity

Zinc isoctanoate has excellent thermal stability and can maintain its structural stability under high temperature environment without decomposition or deterioration. This characteristic makes it of important application value in high-temperature electronic packaging materials. In addition, zinc isoctanoate also exhibits certain electrical conductivity, especially after proper treatment, its electrical conductivity can be significantly improved. Studies have shown that the conductivity of zinc isoctanoate is closely related to its crystal structure and surface state. By controlling the synthesis conditions, its conductivity can be adjusted to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

2.3 Other Physical and Chemical Properties

In addition to thermal stability and electrical conductivity, zinc isoctanoate also has some other important physicochemical properties, such as good lubricity, oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. These properties allow zinc isoctanoate to be used not only as a conductive filler in electronic packaging materials, but also as lubricants, antioxidants and preservatives, further improving the overall performance of the packaging materials.

3. Preparation method of zinc isoctanoate

3.1 Traditional preparation method

The traditional preparation methods of zinc isooctanoate mainly include direct reaction method and precipitation method. The direct reaction method is to react zinc salts (such as zinc chloride or zinc sulfate) with isooctanoic acid in an organic solvent to produce zinc isooctanoate precipitate. This method is simple to operate and has low cost, but the product is not purified and is prone to introduce impurities. The precipitation method is to add zinc salt and isooctanoic acid to the aqueous solution, and the zinc isooctanoic acid is precipitated by adjusting the pH value. This method can obtain higher purity zinc isoctanoate, but the reaction time is long and requires subsequent washing and drying.

3.2 New preparation method

In recent years, with the development of nanotechnology and green chemistry, some new preparation methods for zinc isoctanoate have gradually attracted attention. For example, microwave-assisted synthesis uses microwave radiation to accelerate the reaction process, shortening the reaction time and improving the purity and crystallinity of the product. Sol-gel rule: The zinc isoctoate gel is obtained by dissolving zinc salt and isoctolic acid in an alcohol solvent to form a uniform sol, and then aging and drying. The zinc isoctanoate prepared by this method has a small particle size and a high specific surface area, which is suitable for high-precision electronic packaging materials.

3.3 Surface Modification and Modification

To further improve the properties of zinc isoctanoate, the researchers also surface modified and modified. Common surface modification methods include coating, grafting and doping. For example, by covering a layer of polymer or inorganic oxide on the surface of zinc isoctanoate, its dispersion and compatibility can be effectively improved and agglomeration phenomenon can be reduced. The grafting method is to introduce functional groups into the surface of zinc isoctanoate, giving it special chemical properties such as hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity or electrical conductivity. The doping method is to regulate the crystal structure and electronic structure of zinc isoctanoate by introducing other metal ions or non-metallic elements., thereby improving its electrical conductivity and thermal stability.

4. Application of zinc isoctanoate in electronic packaging materials

4.1 Conductive Composite Materials

Conductive composite materials are an important part of electronic packaging materials and are widely used in electromagnetic shielding, anti-static and other fields. Due to its good electrical conductivity and thermal stability, zinc isooctanoate is widely used as a conductive filler and is combined with other matrix materials (such as polymers, ceramics, etc.) to prepare composite materials with excellent electrical conductivity. Studies have shown that the amount of zinc isoctanoate added has a significant impact on the conductivity of the composite material. When the mass fraction of zinc isoctanoate reaches a certain value, the conductive properties of the composite material will increase sharply, forming the so-called "seepage effect". Table 2 lists the electrical conductivity of composite materials under different zinc isoctanoate contents.

4.2 Thermal interface material

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) are used for heat conduction between electronic components and radiators, and their performance directly affects the heat dissipation effect and working stability of electronic devices. Zinc isoctanoate is widely used in thermal interface materials due to its excellent thermal stability and thermal conductivity. Studies have shown that the thermal conductivity of zinc isoctanoate can reach 1.5 W/(m·K), which is much higher than that of traditional thermal conductivity fillers (such as alumina, boron nitride, etc.). In addition, zinc isoctanoate has good flexibility and processability, and can adapt to complex packaging structures. Table 3 lists the thermal conductivity comparison of several common thermal interface materials.

Zinc isoctanoate is widely used in lubricating materials due to its excellent lubricity. Research shows that zinc isoctanoate can form a lubricating film on the metal surface, reducing friction coefficient and reducing wear. In addition, zinc isoctanoate also has good high temperature resistance and chemical stability, and can maintain lubricating effect under high temperature environments. Table 5 lists the performance comparisons of several common lubricating materials.
