In order to efficiently control the heat generation of electronic devices, many research has been conducted on thermally conductive composite materials. In this study, milled carbon fiber was dispersed in four solvent to investigate the relationship of carbon fiber alignment according to dispersion by solvents, and carbon fiber-reinforced composite material(CFRP) was manufactured using vacuum filtration. To evaluate the arrangement of CFRP the arrangement of the prepared specimen was observed under an optical microscope, and thermal conductivity was measured by Laser Flash Analysis. The Through-plane thermal conductivity of CFRP using NMP and Ethanol was 10.79 W/mK and 10.57 W/mK respectively, which were improved by 218% and 209% compared to the In-plane thermal conductivity. The high viscosity of the solvent greatly affects the shear of the fluid, and it seemed to determine the alignment of the filler

전자기기 발열을 효율적으로 제어하기 위해 열전도성 복합재료에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 solvent 별 분산에 따른 carbon fiber의 배열성 관계를 알아보기 위해 Milled Carbon Fiber를 4가지 Solvent에 분산하고 Vacuum filtration 방법을 통해 탄소섬유강화 복합재료(CFRP)를 제작하였다. CFRP의 배열성을 알아보기 위해 광학현미경 관측과 섬광법을 통한 열전도도를 측정하였다. NMP와 Ethanol을 Solvent로 사용하여 성형한 CFRP의 평면두께방향 열전도도가 각각 10.79 W/mK, 10.57 W/mK 값을 보였고 이는 평면내부방향 열전도도에 비해 218%, 209% 향상된 결과를 보였다. Solvent의 상대적으로 높은 점도 값은 solvent 유체의 높은 전단력에 영향을 주어 성형 시 필러의 배열성을 결정하는데 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다
