▎ 摘  要

Based on poly(vinylidene fluoride)/graphene (PVDF/GP) nano-composite powder, with high beta-phase content (> 90%), prepared on our self-designed pan-mill mechanochemical reactor, the micro-injection molding of PVDF/GP composite was successfully realized and micro-parts with good replication and dimensional stability were achieved. The filling behaviors and the structure evolution of the composite during the extremely narrow channel of the micro-injection molding were systematically studied. In contrast to conventional injection molding, the extremely high injection speed and small cavity of micro-injection molding produced a high shear force and cooling rate, leading to the obvious "skin-core " structure of the micro-parts and the orientation of both PVDF and GP in the shear layer, thus, endowing the micro-parts with a higher melting point and crystallinity and also inducing the transformation of more alpha-phase PVDF to beta-phase. At the injection speed of 500 mm/s, the beta-phase PVDF in the micro-part was 78%, almost two times of that in the macro-part, which was beneficial to improve the dielectric properties. The micro-part had the higher tensile strength (57.6 MPa) and elongation at break (53.6%) than those of the macro-part, due to its increased crystallinity and beta-phase content.
