Nacre-mimetic elastomer composites with synergistic alignments of boron nitride/graphene oxide towards high through-plane thermal conductivity

Boyang Hu et al.

Summary: Thermal-conductive yet electrical-insulating polymer composites are urgently needed for efficient heat dissipation in modern microelectronics. However, the thermal conductivity of polymer composites under low filler loadings is unsatisfactory. In this study, a 3D lamellar-structured fluorinated boron nitride nanosheets (FBNNS)/graphene oxide (GO) skeleton was prepared to facilitate heat flow and reduce thermal resistance. The resulting composite exhibited high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, superior dimensional stability, and electrical insulation.
