Abstract

Disclosed is a method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture. At first, a mixing apparatus is provided. Aluminum nitride powder, calcium silicate, dodecylamine, a binding agent and an anhydrous solvent are mixed with one another by the mixing apparatus. The mixture is made into grains in a granulating process. The hydrophilism, thermal stability and thermal conductivity of the dodecylamine are used to make the grains moisture-proof and not vulnerable to deterioration. Thus, the stability of the aluminum nitride is improved.

Claims (22)

1. A method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture including the steps of:

providing a mixing apparatus;

providing aluminum nitride powder, calcium silicate, dodecylamine, a bonding agent and an anhydrous solvent in the mixing apparatus and mixing them with one another to provide a mixture; and

making the mixture into a plurality of aluminum nitride grains in a granulating process.

2. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mixing apparatus includes a container and an agitator provided in the container.

3. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the bonding agent is PVB.

4. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the anhydrous solvent is absolute alcohol.

5. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the anhydrous solvent is methanol.

6. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the anhydrous solvent is alcohol.

7. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the anhydrous solvent is benzene.

8. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the granulating process is a pelletizing process.

9. The method for protec throughout ting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

wherein the granulating process is a grinding and screening process.

10. The method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture according to claim 1 ,

further comprising covering each of the aluminum nitride grains with both a plurality of calcium silicate grains for absorbing moisture from the aluminum nitride grain and a plurality of dodecylamine grains for preventing moisture from reaching the aluminum nitride grain.
